NIU and Truman College Both Received Bomb Threats Today


Both Northern Illinois University and Truman College were evacuated today due to bomb threats, but both are back to business as usual now. NIU shut down a campus building at 11:20 a.m., and sent bomb-sniffing dogs through campus. They found nothing, and the building was pronounced "all clear" at 2 p.m. Across town at Truman College, the whole campus was evacuated at 12:50 p.m. After police searches, it was reopened at 3 p.m.

Guys, this is not a good kind of "trick." How about a little more "treat," eh?
