MVSU students return after explosives search

Students were allowed to return to Mississippi Valley State University as of noon Monday after a multi-agency search turned up no explosives on the campus.

After an open-ended bomb threat was made against the university campus and the Leflore County Civic Center on Wednesday, Thursday evening and Friday classes were canceled.

A search was conducted of the university’s almost 20 buildings, officials said.

School was out on Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but students were allowed to return to campus under security from school, local, state and federal officials, spokeswoman Maxine Greenleaf said.

Wonder why a historically black university (whose most famous alum is Jerry Rice) would be targeted for bomb threat just days before MLK Day.
