The Atlanta University Center Consortium (AUCC) has been given an all-clear after a bomb threat prompted a shelter-in-place order on campuses Monday afternoon.
The bomb threat was reported near the 600 block of Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. which is slightly north of Clark Atlanta University‘s campus.
According to an alert sent out by Spelman College, Atlanta police and K-9 units searched the campus around Oglethorpe Hall, which houses the School of Fashion and Design.
“Local authorities conducted a K-9 sweep in the area and found no imminent threats. An all clear has been issued,” Clark Atlanta University officials said in a statement. “CAU encourages all members of their community to stay alert, be vigilant and if you see something say something”
According to Channel 2 Action News, someone sent a threat via email to their newsroom claiming that there were bombs on the Morris Brown campus on Monday.
The news source said that it’s unclear if police have searched the Morris Brown campus and the threat centered around the college’s new mask mandate related to COVID-19 cases.
