SMU’s Bush Presidential Library evacuated for an hour Friday following bomb threat

Update at 1:15 p.m.: Hannah Abney, director of communications at the George W. Bush Presidential Center, says in a prepared statement that the center was evacuated after a staff member “discovered a bomb threat written on the wall of a bathroom in the facility.”

Says Abney, “In accordance with safety protocol and procedure, the building was evacuated. SMU and University Park police and fire personnel responded to the scene, searched the facility, and delivered the all clear. The Bush Center has reopened and resumed normal operations.”

Original post at 12:47 p.m.: The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum was evacuated for an hour this morning due to an unspecified threat, according to SMU officials.

Kim Cobb, the university’s director of media relations, says the library was evacuated at 11:30. She’s not sure why, but Cobb says a statement is due shortly from the facility.
