All TSU classes are canceled for the remainder of the day,” a tweet from the university read. “Due to a threat made against the Texas Southern University campus, classes are being canceled and campus is being evacuated.”

The Houston Police Department also commented on the situation saying, “A Houston Emergency Center call taker received a bomb threat at approximately 1:40 p.m. that mentioned the Texas Southern University Campus. The information was relayed to TSU and they are the point of contact for information. HPD is assisting. ”

The bomb threat was first acknowledged when a Texas Christian student brought the situation to the attention of a resident advisor.
