California State University’s Los Angeles campus was evacuated Thursday after a bomb threat, a local television station reported.

ABC affiliate KABC tweeted shorty before 4 p.m., “#BREAKINGNEWS Campus of @CalStateLA has been evacuated due to bomb threat, according to Cal State Office of Regents.”

The university’s Twitter account posted a series of similar tweets; however, it did not mention a bomb threat.

“The campus is being evacuated now. We’ll let you know as soon as we have more info,” the university tweeted at 3:56 p.m.

Mike Uhlenkamp, the school’s director of media relations, confirmed that the campus would be evacuated until further notice, the Los Angeles Times reported.
