Bomb threats target several HBCUs across eastern, southern US
At least a half-dozen historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in five states and the District of Columbia are responding to bomb threats Monday, with many of them locking down their campuses for a time.
In warnings to students, school officials say some of the threats were directed at academic buildings. Affected schools include Albany State University in New York; Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Bowie State University in Bowie, Maryland; Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona, Florida; Delaware State University in Dover and Howard University in Washington, DC.
Students and staff at Howard have been given the all clear, local affiliate WTOP reports.
