UNAM Prepa 3 Evacuated After Threat, Classes Suspended to Oct. 13

Authorities are tracing the origin of the latest false alarm in a weeks-long wave of threats affecting UNAM campuses.

Overview

  • Emergency teams from Protección Civil, firefighters, SSC police and the Zorros bomb squad inspected the site in Gustavo A. Madero and reported no risk.
  • The suspicious object was identified as a metal thermos containing liquid, according to the local mayor’s office.
  • The school administration said in-person classes are suspended until further notice, with a planned return on Monday, October 13.
  • UNAM and city officials will notify the Mexico City prosecutor’s office to open an investigation and track the source of the threat.
  • The incident follows recent evacuations and threat alerts at other UNAM units, with the university earlier this week reporting at least two people identified in a separate FCPyS case; parents at Prepa 3 voiced concern over communication during the review.
