Police across Utah were evacuating buildings and looking for suspicious packages Thursday, as bomb threats were reported up and down the state.
The threats appeared to be part of a nationwide hoax. No credible threats have been found, The Associated Press reported.
At Dixie State University in St. George, a bomb threat was made to a testing center. In a series of tweets that began at 11:55 a.m., the university’s Twitter account said the testing center was evacuated, searched and cleared of any dangers. The building was reopened about an hour later.
In Park City, the town’s newspaper, The Park Record, was evacuated after a threat was made there.
