Dallas Baptist University evacuates campus, cancels classes after threat

"THIS IS NOT A DRILL," the tweet started.

Dallas Baptist University was evacuated Tuesday afternoon and classes canceled after the campus received a "bomb and coordinated armed threat," according to the university's Twitter account. 

"THIS IS NOT A DRILL," the university first tweeted as they sent out a tweet asking students and staff to evacuate the campus.

Dallas police and FBI responded to threat, assisting DBU police. 

According to the university, after the evacuations, Dallas police helped sweep the campus as they investigated the threat.

Debbie Krasna, whose daughter attends DBU, said she went to the university to pick up her daughter after she received a text about the evacuation. She said when she arrived, police had put up roadblocks and all appeared to be under control.

The university said there were no injuries and gave the all-clear at about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
