MTSU campus closed today and Friday after threat
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Middle Tennessee State University officials canceled classes Thursday and Friday, saying they had received a credible threat.
University President Sidney McPhee sent an e-mail to all faculty, staff and students at the university in Murfreesboro, closing the campus at noon on Thursday.
MTSU spokeswoman Lisa Rollins said an e-mail through Yahoo.com was sent Wednesday to an administrator on the business faculty, threatening the entire student community with bodily harm.
Rollins said the e-mail did not say how people would be harmed. She said concern was heightened by the setting of three small fires on campus recently.
After classes ended Wednesday, an e-mailed threat was more widely circulated. Rollins said also a remodeled residence hall had been temporarily evacuated Wednesday night.
