Maroon Alert?

[MSUDC11]

Just got the following texts from the university. The heck is going on?

MAROON ALERT Safety concern near Library. Immediately evacuate Library, Carpenter, Swalm, Hand, Health Center, Etheredege and Drill Field

Evacuate on foot to Union an Allen Hall Immediately

Pretty crptic set of alerts. Almost as if someone hacked it and is trying to push people to one location

I think it's showing up on University Facebook as well

Somebody with a twitter account read the comments on the Maroon Alert page. I'm not a twitterer.

WCBI says bomb threat. Another place is saying a gas line got cut.

That's a hell of a conspiracy theory. Not much cryptic about that. It's pretty detailed.

Wife works on campus and they told them Gas line cut near Hand.

Eta...now they are being told bomb threat. People on campus don't know.

I'd definitely not go to Allen Hall or the Union.

Time specific bomb threat per the university. That time has passed. They haven't found a device of any kind. Dogs sniffing the scene.

Dogs?. We good at sniffin' out shate and stuff.

PSA to Yancy. Just because you hit *67 before calling in a fake bomb threat doesn't mean they can't trace the call.

I've heard from authorities on this very message board that the Library has been "bombed" a lot, originating from some of the old Mitchell Memorial "secret" bathrooms.

I found the wording very interesting. My interpretation was that they were very cautious not to incite a panic a la the "active shooter" situation. Thought it was handled pretty well.
