IUPD responds to bomb threat on business school

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 about 9 a.m. Monday to IU operators. While in the process of being transferred to the IU Police Department, the person hung up.

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

“No other information is being released at this time other than the threat was illegitimate and IUPD is investigating the call,” Minger said.
