COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State University has reopened two laboratory buildings that were closed due to a bomb scare.
No devices were found in the labs, and all activities and classes in the buildings were back on schedule Tuesday evening. University officials say another lab and the main library, which were also closed, are scheduled to reopen later Tuesday.
A bomb threat targeting the library and the three labs was e-mailed to the FBI on Tuesday morning, prompting the school to evacuate all four buildings.
An FBI spokesman says the bureau is investigating several leads.
Ohio State is one of the nation's largest universities, with more than 56,000 students at its main Columbus campus.
