Community college campuses in Austin and Dallas evacuated because of bomb threats

Officials evacuated Dallas College’s Richland campus after receiving a bomb threat Thursday afternoon.

Notice of the threat came around 2 p.m. after an unknown caller reported it to the police.

”Evacuate location by foot immediately. Move as far as possible from building(s). Not at site? STAY AWAY for your own safety,” one Dallas College tweet read.

The campus was immediately evacuated, representative Cherie Yurco said. After city and college police investigated, it was determined to be a hoax and an all clear was given just after 3 p.m.

Meanwhile, two Austin Community College campuses received similar threats at about the same time. Those campuses were also evacuated.
