At approximately 12:15 a.m. on Thursday, the Johns Hopkins University Security Office received an anonymous call that there would be a bomb used against a Hopkins building. The caller called it a "terrorist threat" but gave no time, location, or other specific details about the nature of the threat.
Security officers immediately began search dormitories and campus buildings. Calls had been made to Dean of Student Life Susan Boswell, the Housing Office, safety officers, the Baltimore City Police Department and a bomb squad. All other Hopkins properties were notified, and the Hutzler library and the computer lab in Krieger 160 were closed. The Milton S. Eisenhower Library was kept open until its regular closing time at 2 a.m. while security officers, custodians and library employees searched the premises.
