Yeah, if it was a shooter they would lock down everyone in classrooms.
But they are not playing Texas A&M this year! /sarcasm off

The University of Texas is evacuating all of its buildings due to threats on campus.
“Immediately evacuate ALL buildings and get as far away as possible,” read a message posted at 9:53 a.m. on the campus’ emergency alert website. “More information to come.”
UT Director of Communications Rhonda Weldon said the university got a call around 8:35 a.m. from a male with a middle eastern accent claiming to have placed bombs all over campus.
He said he was with Al Qaeda and that these bombs would go off in 90 minutes.
President Williams Powers has been notified, and officials are now evacuating all of the buildings out of an abundance of caution.

UPDATE, 10 a.m.: UT officials said in a statement:
At 8:35 a.m. the university received a call from a male with a middle eastern accent claiming to have placed bombs all over campus. He said he was with Al Qaeda and these bombs would go off in 90 minutes. President Powers was notified and it was decided to evacuate all of the buildings out of an abundance of caution.
“Multiple bomb threats to multiple buildings”. University of TX? Immediately makes me think some LGBTs are taking revenge for the Regnerus ruling, but that may be a stretch. Time will tell...
Al Qaeda doesn’t give warnings
Can’t be with AQ - they would want the mass casualties.
Thanks for the info.
It's a kinder gentler Al Qaeda.
AQ bombs first and takes credit later.
San Antonio radio station reports a phoned in bomb threat from a Middle Eastern sounding man who said every building on the UT campus has a bomb in it.
Also, a nice place for rich Arabs to go to school...
