COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Officials at Texas A&M University say they're conducting a building-by-building search of the campus after everyone was ordered to evacuate following a bomb threat.

The school about 100 miles northwest of Houston remained shut Friday some three hours after the threat was received.

A&M also says bus service on the sprawling campus has been rerouted and at least two nearby churches are offering to serve as shelters until the evacuation order is rescinded.
