The University of Chicago has canceled classes after an online threat.

School officials say the FBI told them that an unknown person threatened to shoot up a popular gathering place on campus at 10am this morning. 

Faculty and students have been told to stay away from the campus as a precaution. 

The FBI is still trying to figure out who made the threat.
