All-Clear at Alcorn

The all-clear’s been given at Alcorn State’s Lorman and Natchez campuses after the school received a bomb threat. More than a dozen historically Black colleges and universities were on the receiving end of the warnings at the start of Black History Month. Natchez PD was called in to help with a sweep of the campus in Natchez and found nothing suspicious, giving an all-clear by mid-morning although classes were moved online and the bulk of the buildings closed to everybody except emergency personnel. Administrators are asking students and faculty to keep an eye open for suspicious activity as regular activities resume.
