URGENT: Explosives Found During Death Probe at Fla. College Mar 18th 2013, 13:54 Published March 18, 2013 FoxNews.com Hundreds of students were evacuated early Monday from dorms on the University of Central Florida campus after authorities found a homemade bomb and rifle near a man's body. Police were called to Tower 1 on-campus dorm after a fire alarm went off, and arriving officers told Fox 35 that they found a man dead inside a dorm room from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  A bomb squad was sent to the campus, while about 500 students were evacuated from the dorm and a parking garage was closed. The university cancelled classes through noon Monday as a precaution. A UCF alert said there was no threat to the community, 13 News reports. A statement on the university's website said the UCF Arena will open Monday morning to accommodate displaced students. Counselors would be available to talk to students who need assistance. "It's scary. Obviously, it's in the news and stuff with all the school shootings but there's not much you can do about it," Ryan Elkin, a student, told 13 News. "Obviously they took precautions and emptied out the whole building." It was not immediately known whether the dead man is a student. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
