Pitt sent out an Emergency Notification System alert at 9:46 a.m. telling students that a general bomb threat has been received for the Cathedral. Like the other two previous threats, no time or location was specified in the threat.

The threat concluded with another ENS alert, sent out at 11:39 a.m.

Pitt police evacuated the building, and many people left the area surrounding the Cathedral, not bothering to wait to head back inside. Some professors, however, continued their classes outside.
