At around 10 p.m. this evening, April 25, 2024, a call was made to Wichita State University Police indicating the presence of a bomb on WSU’s campus at Wallace Hall and the Starbucks on 21st Street. University police completed a visual search of both premises, and no devices were located. The Wichita Police Department has been alerted, and teams have set up a perimeter and are at the scene conducting a search. The WSU campus community has been alerted of the reported threat through the RAVE system. All individuals are asked to evacuate and avoid these areas until an all-clear is issued. At this time, police suspect the threat is not credible but are taking every precaution to ensure campus safety. WSU will continue to update the campus community as more information is available.
