ST. LOUIS (AP) — Investigators say Harris-Stowe State University in St. Louis is closed Tuesday after the historically Black school received a bomb threat. Harris-Stowe officials said the university was closed until further notice “out of an abundance of caution.” Law enforcement agencies are checking all the campus facilities. Several other historically Black universities across the country reported receiving bomb threats Tuesday, the first day of Black History month. That comes a day after bomb threats were made against at least six historically Black colleges. Harris-Stowe officials said in a news release that plans are underway to provide residential students with meals but all off-campus students and staff should not report to the university.
