Threatening note found in MTU's ROTC Building

HOUGHTON -- The following is a message from Michigan Tech President Glenn Mroz concerning a threatening note. Anyone with information on this is requested to contact MTU Public Safety as noted below.

"As we indicated Wednesday evening, a threatening note was found in the restroom in the ROTC building on the Michigan Tech campus. The area was secured by Public Safety officers and US Army and Air Force Officers who occupy the building. The area has been processed for evidence and this has been sent to the State Police Crime Laboratory. The building has been locked down for the semester, and only students and employees with regular access will be able to enter. We increased our police patrols last night and all local and state police authorities have been notified. We will continue increased patrols for the remainder of the semester.

"You may also want to check out the Safety First website at http://www.mtu.edu/safety/ for additional information. If you have any information regarding this incident please contact Public Safety at 906-487-2216 or by dialing 911.

"We will send additional information as it becomes available.

Thank you,

Glenn Mroz"
