Nevada State College all-clear tweet, reproduced verbatim by KTNV and News3LVktnv.comfind archived copiesVerbatim all-clear text recovered from Nevada State College's tweet, quoted identically by KTNV and News3LV; the previously appended sentences about evening classes were paraphrase and have been removed to keep only the confirmed wording.
The all-clear came approximately one hour after the initial 1:18 p.m. PDT evacuation order on June 27, 2022, consistent with the time needed for K9 teams from University Police and Henderson Police to search all campus buildings.
NSC separately stated in a release that evening classes would resume as normal.
Context
Background
Nevada State College (now Nevada State University) is a public four-year teaching institution in Henderson, Nevada, about 16 miles southeast of Las Vegas. On June 27, 2022, someone calling themselves a student phoned in a bomb threat claiming an unspecified building on campus had a bomb. According to News3LV, University Police Sgt. William Williams confirmed the police became aware of the 'critical safety concern' at about 1:18 p.m. PDT and immediately ordered an evacuation of the entire campus. Henderson Police K9 units and University Police searched all buildings and found nothing. KTNV reported that the college announced via social media approximately one hour after the initial threat that there was 'NO longer an active threat' and that evening classes would proceed normally. A similar false alarm was reported at UNLV the same day, though that report was quickly resolved as well. Nevada State College was renamed Nevada State University in 2023. The incident reflects a pattern of summer bomb threats targeting Nevada college campuses in 2022, including a separate July 2022 wave targeting the College of Southern Nevada's North Las Vegas campus.
