More hubbub at Northeastern tonight

Around 10:40 p.m., Northeastern University Police issued a shelter-in-place order and told people to avoid Snell Quad and Curry Student Center. They lifted the shelter-in-place order about half an hour later, but still told people to avoid Snell Quad and the student center.

Bomb-squad officers and explosives-sniffing dogs responded to the area.

The Huntington News reports a called-in bomb threat proved a hoax.

The incident comes just nine days after what at first appeared to be an explosion at Holmes Hall that authorities soon began theorizing was a hoax.
