Threats Shut Down Illinois Campuses

Source: CNN -- Read Full Story

Officials of a Catholic liberal arts college shut it down indefinitely Friday and told students to leave after threatening messages were found scrawled in a freshman dorm. Graffiti were found twice this month at St. Xavier University's Regina Hall, including a message Thursday that read, "Be prepared to die on 4/14," President Judith Dwyer said in a statement. Officials closed down campuses in Chicago and suburban Orland Park and canceled all classes for the school's 5,700 students. Buildings where community events are planned will remain open, Dwyer said. "On the considered advice of the multiple law enforcement agencies pursuing the case, we have chosen to close Saint Xavier University indefinitely beginning tonight due to the specific nature of the second message," Dwyer said.
