First Lady Jill Biden was forced to cancel a community college class after a bomb threat was sent to the Northern Virginia Community College on Tuesday, the school and a spokesperson said.
Biden was told about the threat at Northern Virginia Community College before she left the White House on Tuesday morning, her spokesman Michael LaRosa told news outlets. “At no point was she in any danger,” LaRosa said.
The Epoch Times has contacted the first lady’s office for comment.
Earlier, an alert was sent out by the school on Twitter. The nature of the bomb threat was not disclosed.
Biden, 70, is listed on the NOVA website as a nine-month professor who teaches at the Alexandria campus. It’s not clear exactly what class she teaches, but the White House has said previously that she instructs writing and English at the school.
It comes weeks after Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, was evacuated from an event at a Washington, D.C. high school due to a bomb threat that was issued on Feb. 8.
Kristen Metzger, a D.C. Police spokeswoman, told The Washington Post at the time police were informed of the bomb threat but no item or device was found.
Days later, two 16-year-olds were arrested and charged for allegedly making similar threats in the area, officials said. The two 16-year-old boys, whose identities have not been released, were charged with terroristic threats, officials said.
And “another 16-year old juvenile male, of Northwest, DC, has been arrested and charged with Terroristic Threats in connection to a bomb threat at Kipp DC College Preparatory” school, it added.
