IUPD investigating false bomb threat

The IU Police Department is investigating a false bomb threat on the Kelley School of Business.

An anonymous caller phoned in a bomb threat at around 9 a.m. on Monday to IU operators, while in the process of being transferred to the IU Police Department, the person hung up the phone.

After the call, IUPD went to the Kelley School of Business while looking for unusual activity. People who call in bomb threats will often look for how much confusion they can cause for police, fire and ambulance squads, said IUPD Capt. Jerry Minger.

No other information is being released right now other than that the threat was illegitimate and that IUPD is investigating the call, Minger said.
