Per KXAN, law enforcement in the area stated by email that "Those threats have been determined to have originated outside of our area and are similar to threats that circulated [Wednesday] in other parts of the state...“We continue to believe that there is no actual threat to the campus; but we also continue to remain vigilant, active in the investigation, and steadfast in our efforts to ensure all campuses are safe.”
