ATLANTA — Albany State University sophomore Eyanna Vereen was in her apartment across the street from campus this week when her phone starting buzzing with calls and text messages from her mom and friends who heard about a bomb threat at the school.
Vereen soon saw messages from the university urging students who weren’t on campus not to come there. Outside her window, she spotted police cars and a fire truck on campus.
“My mind was blown,” said Vereen, 19, a business management major. “Is this really happening? Is this really a bomb threat?”
