Threat cancels classes at Point Loma Nazarene University

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego has canceled classes because of an unspecified potential threat.

The school said the FBI learned early Thursday of a possible threat involving what it described as “non-specific comments” about the school. Investigators determined there was no active shooter threat.

The 4,500-student school cancelled classes for the day and has not said when they will resume.

School spokeswoman Jill Monroe says morning classes were interrupted when the cancellation was announced.

Non-supervisory staff was dismissed for the day. Students at the private liberal arts school were encouraged to stay in their dorms.
