Lorain County Community College to reopen campuses at 4 p.m. following bomb threat

All campuses evacuated and shut down as Elyria Police arrived on the scene for safety checks. The college has dealt with four such threats in the last month.

ELYRIA, Ohio — Lorain County Community College (LCCC) once again evacuated all campuses after another bomb threat forced the college to take safety measures Tuesday afternoon.

According to school officials, Elyria police came to campus to sweep the area, but the threat has been deemed to be "unfounded." As such, all campuses will reopen at 4 p.m. this afternoon and evening classes will be held as scheduled.

Today's bomb threat comes after the college dealt with three bomb threats in one week between March 24 and March 29. LCCC turned to remote learning for the rest of the week after the March 29 threat and have since returned to in-school classes.
