The threat happened after campus previously shut down Wednesday morning for the threat of an explosive that turned out to be related to construction material. While campus officials gave an all-clear for classes to resume around 1:50 p.m., police said a bomb threat via social media was made in the area of Parking Structure 2.
Police said the threat showed up on Yik Yak, and police identified Reed as the suspect, who allegedly admitted the threat wasn't legitimate.
