Eastern Kentucky Football Game Moved Due to Threatening Graffiti on Campus

Tyler ConwayOct 7, 2015

Eastern Kentucky University announced Thursday's scheduled football game against Tennessee Tech University has been moved to nearby Georgetown College after an apparent death threat on campus.

A cryptic message reading "KILL ALL BY 10/8/15 THIS BU OOP" was written on a campus men's room wall Sunday night, per Sean Moody of WKYT.     

"It's a little hard to understand what the handwriting at the end of that message means. Police are investigating that. They're sharing information with partner agencies to determine if there is another meaning for it or if it's just a handwriting mistake," EKU spokesperson Kristi Middleton said, per Moody.

Eastern Kentucky has canceled all classes through Friday as police continue to investigate the case. Classes had been held as scheduled earlier this week.   

School president Michael Benson provided an update on how the school is handling the matter Wednesday in an email, per the Associated Press (via ESPN.com):

"

Our primary goals in assessing this situation are limiting any safety risks and avoiding disruption to learning and teaching. While we are confident the responding team of law enforcement agencies has kept a watchful eye over our community and is diligently investigating the threat, it has become clear this incident continues to be unsettling to a number of our students, faculty and staff.

"

Georgetown College is located roughly 40 miles from Eastern Kentucky. In the wake of this month's mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, it's commendable Eastern Kentucky is making a concerted effort to ensure the safety of its students.

The university is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the apprehension of the person responsible for the threat.
