Threats close U.S. university after killing that involved neo-Nazi

WATCH: Kenneth Morgan Stancil III made his first court appearance in North Carolina Thursday to answer to first degree murder charges, where he was dragged out for an outburst.

GOLDSBORO, N.C. – A North Carolina community college is closing for the weekend after receiving threatening telephone calls that followed a shooting death involving a self-avowed neo-Nazi.

Wayne Community College officials closed the Goldsboro campus Friday morning and cancelled weekend classes and activities.

College President Kay Albertson said there wasn’t a bomb threat.

She said the college received several threatening phone calls over two days, but law officers traced the caller. She said that after local officials opted to close a high school operating on the campus, college officials did likewise to lessen confusion.

The college was evacuated Monday after an employee was killed.
