A man was being questioned Wednesday night in relation to a threat made against Pierce College that led school officials to evacuate students and cancel night classes at the Woodland Hills campus, authorities said.

About 4:30 p.m., the Los Angeles Police Department notified the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department about a tip it received regarding a threat against the campus, said Capt. Rodrick Armalin of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Community College Bureau, in an interview with reporters. The interview was posted online by the Pierce College student newspaper The Roundup News.

It appeared an anonymous person alerted Los Angeles police about an individual at a bus stop who was overheard saying he was “en route to Pierce College to shoot the campus up,” Armalin said.

Los Angeles police dispatched officers to the area and they detained a person with similar features described by the caller, the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.

“The male adult is being questioned by LAPD personnel, however, at this time he has not been arrested for the threat related to Pierce College today,” the statement said late Wednesday.

Authorities did not immediately release the name of the man, who is not a Pierce College student, Armalin said.

Both agencies are investigating the threat to determine if “it was a credible threat,” Armalin said.

No weapons were found on the person who was detained, Armalin said.

About 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, school officials on social media alerted students that classes were canceled for the night and would resume Thursday morning.

By 8 p.m. Sheriff’s officials said there was no longer a threat.

Classes resume Thursday, officials said.

Pierce College has an enrollment of about 22,000 students each semester, according to the school’s website. It is one of the nine colleges in the Los Angeles Community College District.
