WDBJ7 Roanoke News and Weather NRV Lynchburg Danville | Bomb threat closes three VT buildings
Member Center:
Virginia Tech closed Torgersen, Durham, and Whittemore Halls Friday afternoon because of a bomb threat. Classes in those buildings were canceled for the rest of the day.
The latest handwritten note was found today. This is the second bomb threat in a matter of weeks. The university does believe there could be a connection between the bomb threats.
We're told it could take all weekend for authorities to sweep all three buildings. That's because they're so large. As a result, activities in those buildings have been canceled for the next several days.
Virginia Tech is offering a $5,000 reward for information about the threats.
