Classes at Auburn University were canceled Wednesday after a message found scrawled on a campus restroom wall threatened a "rampage of Biblical proportion."
An emergency message sent to students and staff and posted on the university's website just after 7 a.m. CDT said that while "authorities still believe the threat is not credible," normal university operations were being suspended Wednesday "due to student and parent anxiety over the threat."
The Opelika-Auburn News reported that the threat, which was shared across social media, read: "To whom it may concern…April 16, 2014, I will unleash a rampage of Biblical proportion across this tiny campus…You have been warned."
Seven years ago, Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 Virginia Tech students and faculty members in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. He killed himself after the rampage.
