Larimer County Loveland Campus Closed Due to Public Safety Threat
In response to a bomb threat, the Larimer County Loveland Campus was temporarily closed earlier today as a precautionary measure. Following a thorough investigation conducted by local law enforcement agencies, it has been determined that the bomb threat was illegitimate, and there is no imminent danger to the public or the building.
