Bomb Scare Suspect Spotted at UCF
News — By Staff on November 11, 2009 at 12:27 amUPDATE 12:27 A.M. WEDNESDAY:
KnightNews.com’s Brent Buffington shot this video of UCF Police Chief Richard Beary briefing media on the bomb scare:
UCF police said between the time of 6:00pm and 6:15pm, they shut down Garages A & H. The chief said students called police after Corey Carr, a 31-year-old UCF Student, was walking around the halls of Classroom 1 making comments about blowing up the building and killing people.
UCF Police responded in under one minute, arresting Carr on the charges of a hoax device, and interfering with the educational process. FBI agents and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office assisted, especially in light of the recent deadly downtown Orlando shooting rampage and Fort Hood masacre.
Using the text message and email system, UCF police were able to notify students minutes after decisions were made. This, in addition to police response time, prevented them from locking down the entire campus. Despite a positive search by an explosives K-9 unit, the search has come up negative for any explosives in or around Carr’s vehicle.

I love how they’ll kick out the girl who hasn’t even been convicted of an off-campus DUI, but they won’t do anything about a guy who threatens to blow up a building and kill people. Nice.
Yea I love how they let us go to class at night. I left my class only to find that garage H was closed down for the next two hours, it was raining, and the library was closed so I couldn’t even get myself a coffee and a pastry. Crappy night. I lie in Clermont, so i still had a rainy one hour drive home after that. Bleh.
I *LOVE* how they let us come to campus 45 minutes later like nothing was wrong for EVENING classes
guess he had a stressful semester…
They would’ve sent something out for a bomb threat…
No further info but confirmed bomb scare from http://news.ucf.edu/UCFnews/index?page=article&id=002400413702bfed0124310819fb0034ae
Bomb threat. Find which class had to turn in a midterm or which class had an important presentation due and you’ll find hwere your culprit came from.
Bomb threat, according to the school news website.
I left the CL1 building around 1:20 and nothing looked suspicious. I hope everything is ok!
Good Lord…I hope it isn’t anything serious. I was JUST in CL1 not 3 hours ago.
