Anonymous Threat Puts Women's Dorm At University Of Alabama On Lockdown

An anonymous threat against residents of an all-female dorm and members of Greek life at the University of Alabama prompted a partial lockdown on campus Sunday night.

Students living at Tutwiler Hall, a women's residence hall at the Tuscaloosa campus, and members of the university's Greek system received a copy of the threat in email from a person using the pseudonym "Authur Pendragon," according to the Crimson White.

The threat had originally been posted on YouTube over the weekend, the university said Monday. The school has not determined if it was a credible threat but is taking it seriously.

University of Alabama police received reports of armed individuals at Tutwiler, prompting them to lockdown the dorm and conduct a search, though no weapons or suspicious persons were found, AL.com reported. According to a statement from UA President Judy Bonner, posted on the university's website Monday, the lockdown and search took about 45 minutes.
