Bomb hoax forces evacuation of UT Health Science Center campus (San Antonio)

SAN ANTONIO — Police are searching for a suspect responsible for a bomb threat Friday that forced the evacuation of the University of Texas Health Science Center's dental school for a couple of hours.

Multiple threats were written in lipstick on the wall of a bathroom and other locations. According to a photo submitted by a reader, one of the notes said, “Keep out u will die.”

University Police Department Chief Michael Parks said his office started getting calls around 4 p.m. from people concerned about the handwritten notes. The messages indicated there might be a bomb in a nearby stairwell.

At just after 5 p.m., the following message was sent from the Health Science Center's Twitter account: “Threat :: Please quickly and safely leave the Long Campus until further notice. We will provide updates when available.”
