San Bernardino Valley College closed Tuesday following bomb threat

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. -- San Bernardino Valley College was closed on Tuesday after a bomb threat was called in a day earlier, clearing the campus during finals week.

School officials asked students and staff to leave the campus immediately at about 5:30 p.m. Monday after the threat was made.

Classes were canceled Tuesday as the San Bernardino Community College District Police Department continued to investigate the threat.

School officials said the campus will reopen when police conclude their investigation and declare the campus safe.

About 12,000 students attend the community college, which is located near downtown San Bernardino.
