Hundreds of students and staff at Harvard University received emails on Friday from a sender who threatened to come to the Ivy League school 'tomorrow' and shoot them, according to campus police.
The Harvard University Police Department said it could not verify that the threat was authentic but said it would step up security around the university's campus, centered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, just outside Boston.
Police were increasing uniformed and plainclothes presence all weekend. A campus safety advisory urged people call police if they saw anything suspicious or had safety concerns or pertinent information.
Boston-area residents have been on an elevated state of alert since a pair of homemade bombs were set off at the city's marathon in April 2013, killing three people and injuring 260.
University police said they had alerted the FBI and local law enforcement.
Parts of the elite university were evacuated in December, when the school received a bomb threat from a person who turned out to be a student trying to get out of taking a final exam. That student was later arrested and is facing federal charges of making a hoax bomb threat.
