NATCHITOCHES, La. (AP) - Several buildings were
evacuated at a Louisiana
college and classes have been canceled after a high school housed on the campus
received a bomb threat.
Northwestern State
police on Monday cleared out buildings next to the Louisiana School
for Math, Science and the Arts shortly before noon. The high school also was
evacuated.
At least one campus entrance was
closed.
Details about the threat were not
immediately released. Messages left with campus and city police were not
immediately returned.
Northwestern State has about 4,500 students. It wasn't
clear how many students attend the high school.
