Bomb Threats Called in at Multiple Louisiana Colleges Including UL Lafayette
[UPDATE 2] Six Louisiana colleges and one Texas college were evacuated today due to bomb threats. All cases have ended with officials finding no evidence of explosives.
These were the seven schools that were targeted:

- Remington College in Shreveport
- South Louisiana Community College’s (SLCC) Young Memorial Campus in Morgan City
