Bomb Threat Alerts Trigger Evacuations at Three Ivy League Schools
20:59 GMT 07.11.2021 (Updated: 13:25 GMT 06.08.2022) It was not initially clear if there was a real threat or it was someone’s nasty joke, since just two days ago a bomb threat was also reported at Yale University in Connecticut. Later, however, an all-clear was issued for all three colleges.
Students on the campus of Cornell University were forced to evacuate buildings on Sunday afternoon following reports of a bomb threat, the university has confirmed.
The alert posted shortly after the reports said that “Police received a call of bombs being placed in the Law School, Goldwin Smith, Upson Hall and Kennedy Hall. Please do not call Cornell Police unless you need to report an emergency.”
Bomb squad units were spotted arriving at the scene.
Later, the University
issued a statement saying the threat was deemed not credible.
Simultaneously, another bomb threat alert was reported at Columbia University, triggering the evacuation of two buildings on the campus.
“We’ve only been notified by a text,” Columbia spokeswoman Caroline Adelman told The New York Post. “It mentions two buildings that are being evacuated and warns people to stay away.”
The University later confirmed the bomb threat was deemed not credible by the NYPD.
Another alert was reported at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, prompting multiple campus buildings to be evacuated. The campus was cleared for re-entry later in the afternoon.
So far, there have been no reports of injuries.
