Saint Xavier closes campuses; sends students home
Saint Xavier University tonight closed its campuses indefinitely and told students to leave campus by noon Saturday.
The students are being sent home after threatening graffiti was found a second time in a freshman dormitory.
The message found Thursday said: “Be prepared to die on 4/14.”

Saint Xavier has 2 campuses - one in Chicago, IL and one in Orland Park, IL. This has been all over the local news this evening. BOTH campuses closed “indefinitely.”
Students will receive 36 hour notice when the all clear is given to return. The interesting thing was watching the face of the school representative when she said that local law enforcement told them the threat was of a “tone” that they needed to clear the kids out pronto. It gave me the distinct impression that there was even more to the message. IMO, she looked quite frightened.
