Bomb Threat at Pitt-Bradford

UPDATE: All clear at Pitt-Bradford as of around 12:30 p.m.

The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford received a bomb threat at just before 11 o'clock this morning for the Hanley Library.

Everyone was told to evacuate the building.

The office of University President Dr. Livingston Alexander is in that building, but he was at the Bromeley Family Theater for the honor’s convocation.

We’ll have more information as it becomes available.

Pitt's main campus has received about 70 bomb threats since mid-February.
