SAN ANTONIO — Two St. Philip’s College campuses were evacuated Monday due to the potential of a bomb threat, a spokesperson from the college confirmed to KENS 5 staff. The threat came in via a phone call.
The Southwest campus on Quintana Road, as well as the location along MLK Drive, were both evacuated out of an abundance of caution, the school says.
A spokesperson for Alamo Colleges District said some high school students who were also on campus were bused to a different location to be picked up by their parents.
As of 2:30 p.m., police were sweeping both campuses to try and determine the legitimacy of the threat.
This is a developing story.
