On Monday morning, Bethune-Cookman University (B-CU) was on lockdown due to a bomb threat. It was one of a number of Black colleges and universities around the country that received the threats.
On Tuesday morning, there were more bomb threats, including at Edward Waters University, a historically Black university in Jacksonville.
Law enforcement swept through the B-CU campus in Daytona Beach and, fortunately, found nothing.
A neo-Nazi group called “Atomwaffen’’ has been linked to the call to B-CU, according to the Daytona Beach Police Department.
A call into the Volusia County emergency dispatch also indicated that there was an active shooter threat on the campus as well as an explosive device threat. The shooting threat, according to the call, was expected to happen around lunchtime Monday.
