Finger Lakes Community College evacuated its main campus on the morning of May 14 due to a bomb threat, the school announced.
According to FLCC, a suspect is in custody and classes are canceled until 2 p.m. to allow the police adequate time to search the main building.

FLCC released an update on their website, saying that counselors are available at CMAC and the Suites at Laker Landing for any students still on campus grounds.
