Lockdown at NJ college lifted

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - February 20, 2008 School spokeswoman Lorraine McConnell says campus security became aware at 10:40 a.m. Wednesday of the handwritten note, taped in the stairwell of an administration and classroom building.

The college had e-mail and cell phone text message alerts to students within two minutes.

McConnell says it was the first time the private Roman Catholic school used its text message alert system, installed last summer in response to the Virginia tech killings.
