HAMPTON, Va. — Virginia State Police said Friday that it was investigating a threat made against a state agency which led Thomas Nelson Community College (TNCC) in Hampton to close its campus Thursday and Friday.
The school said the closure was "out of an abundance of caution."
Belinda Baker, spokeswoman for the college, said the possible threat was to an unaffiliated agency that has facilities near the campus.
Baker couldn't say which agency it was, neither could Sgt. Michelle Anaya with Virginia State Police.
Anaya did say Friday afternoon that there no longer was a threat to the community or to the school campus.
Anaya said via email that the criminal investigation was ongoing and that information that could be shared was limited in order not to hinder the prosecution of the criminal case.
