The main BC3 campus, which was closed this morning around 10 a.m. as a safety precaution, will remain closed for the remainder of Thursday and reopens at 8 a.m. Friday morning.

Butler County Community College Police completed a search of the main BC3 campus after reports of a “general threat to schools” posted online on Thursday morning.

According to a message from the BC3 alert system, updated just before 5 p.m., no threat was found.

A statement from BC3 earlier in the day said that college officials learned from Butler Township police about a threat on a social media channel consisting of “a photograph of a message written on a white concrete block wall.”

The statement said that the threat referenced Oak Hills and Sept. 30, and “pinned” BC3's main campus, which is located on the former Oak Hills Golf Course. BC3 officials were made aware the threat may have been posted locally.
