COLLEGE STATION (WFAA-TV) - A bomb threat has led to an evacuation at Texas A&M University in College Station.

The university issued a "Code Maroon" that asked students to evacuate "by foot immediately" at around 11:34 a.m. A witness at the scene said students were calmly and slowly evacuating the area.

The evacuation comes a day after Texas State University was evacuated after receiving a similar threat. Three buildings on the campus in San Marcos were evacuated around 9:40 a.m. and students were allowed to return in the early afternoon.

Over the last month, several other universities - including the University of Texas at Austin, North Dakota State and Louisiana State - were evacuated based on similar threats. In each case, the universities were later cleared without incident.
