The FBI has identified six “tech savvy” juveniles as persons of interests in threats to historically Black colleges and universities on Tuesday, the first day of Black History Month.
A short time later, D.C. police and university police investigated a bomb threat to UDC's campus in the Van Ness neighborhood, the school said. Officers shut down streets including the 4200 block of Connecticut Avenue NW and part of Van Ness Street NW, but the campus was opened after the investigation didn't find anything.“Access to campus will be closed as the University works with emergency personnel to assess the situation.
Howard University said in a letter to the community that several HBCUs have been subject to threats in recent weeks. The school says it coordinates with D.C. police and federal agencies to investigate threats.The bomb threats Monday prompted a federal response. The FBI “is aware of bomb threats received by some Historically Black Colleges and Universities," the agency said in a statement.
