(UPDATE 7:30am)Authorities at Benedictine College now say Atchison, Kansas police have taken the person who posted a threat on Yik Yak into custody. Classes are in session as scheduled today.

Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, was placed on alert Tuesday night after receiving word of a threat to the college community.

In a posting on Facebook, college officials said they became aware of the threat on the anonymous social media Web site Yik Yak. That’s the same site used for recent campus threats at Mizzou and Northwest Missouri State.

Officials say additional posts indicated that the original threat against Benedictine was a hoax.

But the college took no chances. They locked the dormitories, added security personnel, increased campus patrols, and remained on alert status overnight. Classes were expected to resume as scheduled on Wednesday.
