Black Colleges Lock Down Amid Threats After Kirk Killing

Several historically Black colleges and universities placed students and staff under lockdown on Thursday, citing potential threats a day after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at Utah Valley University.

Spelman College, Hampton University, Virginia State University, Bethune Cookman University, Southern University and Alabama State University were among those that suspended classes and required students living on campus to shelter in place. Everyone except essential employees was told to stay away.
