The Plemmons Student Union was evacuated at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 12, after a bomb threat was found on an office door. 

Appalachian State campus police arrived at the student union and asked all non-essential personnel to leave the building, said ASU News Bureau Director Jane Nicholson. 

According to Nicholson, the police searched the building and found nothing.  

The campus police is continuing the investigation, she said. 

The student union reopened at 7:30 Friday morning, as no bomb was found. 

The threat was placed on the door of the Office of Judicial Affairs, which is found on the second floor of the student union. 

On the note was a sketch of a cross with an extra beam under the main one, said a source who saw the note. The threat was written on a food services comment card. 

“Security said that we needed to do the minimum we could do and to get out as fast as we could,” said a Cascades employee. 

“I was going to the concert, and I went downstairs because I work there,” said junior Erin Sellers. 

“I talked to one of the supervisors, and he told me to leave...for (my) own safety,” she said. 

The university kept the bomb threat as a university matter, not involving Boone Police.
