It was later revealed that authorities, including the FBI, were investigating a potential threat, which was later revealed to be to an individual threatening to shoot up a library of a school with a machine gun.<\/p>\n<p>In a press release update this evening, it appears that the threat was not specifically targeted at BSC, but rather was made via Twitter from a phone located within a half mile radius of\u00a0the campus.<\/p>\n<p>As a precaution, the entire campus was put on lock down until authorities could conduct a thorough investigation into the credibility of the threat. As the buildings were cleared floor-by-floor, individuals were slowly allowed to vacate. An All Clear was ultimately granted around 4:00pm, at which time, everyone still on campus was allowed to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after, a Highway Patrol trooper apprehended the alleged suspect on Highway 83 north of Bismarck en route towards Minot. The apprehended suspect\u00a0is simply described as a 16-year-old male.<\/p>\n<p>Classes were cancelled for the remainder of the day, but are expected to resume Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation continues into the incident.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only days into the start of the spring semester, an alleged shooting threat shut down the campus of Bismarck State College today. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2306,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[518,2410,216,364],"tags":[1132,322,328,1063,1064],"class_list":["post-131386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bismarck-news","category-crime-news","category-featured","category-home-page","tag-bismarck-police","tag-bismarck-state-college","tag-crime","tag-home","tag-ticker"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bismarckcafe.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bismarckcafe.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bismarckcafe.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bismarckcafe.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bismarckcafe.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131386"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bismarckcafe.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131386\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bismarckcafe.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bismarckcafe.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bismarckcafe.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bismarckcafe.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
