Threat Prompts Police Search at Virginia Tech

Blacksburg, Va.— Virginia Tech police officers raced to a main administration building with their guns drawn this morning in response to a threat against the university’s president, Charles W. Steger, but then determined that the threat was not credible.

The building, Burruss Hall, is located near the Drillfield in the center of the campus. A morning news conference was delayed while the police searched the building. —Eric Hoover
