Fort Pierce – Early Friday morning, Indian River State College issued an emergency alert warning of a “credible bomb threat” at its Massey Campus. The alert instructed all students, faculty and staff to evacuate the area immediately and to follow directions from emergency personnel and law enforcement.
College response and remote‑learning directive
College President Timothy Moore acted quickly, announcing that the Massey Campus would be closed as a precaution. In a Facebook post, the college confirmed that all employees and students assigned to the campus were directed to work from home until further notice.
Safety instructions
The emergency notification, sent through the college’s RiverAlert system, also advised people to avoid using cell phones or radio equipment within 300 feet of the threatened location, a standard precaution to prevent interference with any potential bomb‑squad operations.
Law‑enforcement investigation
Local law‑enforcement agencies responded to the scene and began a thorough investigation. At this time, officials have not released details about the nature of the threat, whether any suspicious devices have been located, or how long the evacuation will remain in effect. No injuries have been reported.
What’s next?
Indian River State College and local authorities continue to assess the situation. The college has pledged to keep the community updated as more information becomes available. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to monitor official college communications for further instructions.
