UAM Cuajimalpa Evacuated After Bomb Threat Deemed False

Investigators are pursuing suspects tied to a wave of false campus alerts that followed the CCH Sur killing.

Overview

  • Students and staff were cleared from the Cuajimalpa unit around 2 p.m. on Oct. 13 after a threat message was found in a restroom, and a campus sweep located no explosive device.
  • UAM worked with Mexico City security to activate protocols and later confirmed the alert as a false alarm, with university and city authorities opening investigations to identify those responsible.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum and the city prosecutor’s office said recent university threats were unfounded, reporting two suspects identified and a detention without disclosing identities.
  • Several UNAM campuses recently suspended in-person classes because of similar alerts as authorities examine potential connections among the incidents.
  • In Puebla, BUAP reported a shooting threat, and police detained an individual who had praised the CCH Sur attacker on social media.
