Auburn police confirm FBI is analyzing threat scrawled on bathroom wall

Source: AL.com

AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn police confirm the Federal Bureau of Investigation is analyzing the terrorist threat scrawled on the wall of an Auburn University bathroom.

Police Chief Paul Register said no evidence emerged over a three-week investigation to prove the threat is credible, but university officials canceled classes Wednesday as a precautionary measure.

Auburn police were first notified of the message on March 26.

The message reads: "To whom it may concern. April 16th, 2014, I will unleash a rampage of biblical proportion across this tiny campus. You have been warned."

Didn't mind, nice sunny day, anyway. It was decided it was a prank phone call.

This definitely sounds like a prank, bet they'll never find who did it. I've read some writings on bathroom walls.

Best one was in college, 1969, where an anonymous student someone wrote something like this with part of a famous equation:


'And God said, let there be light,'



'And there was light.'


May not be fit the Biblical quote, but I thought it was amusing at the time.

If this is all it takes to shut down a major university, expect a lot more of it to come.
