An event featuring ex-Mexican President Vicente Fox was cut short by a bomb scare tonight at the Landmark Theater, city police said.
Fox ended his question and answer session and canceled a reception after someone called in the threat shortly before 9 p.m., said Katie Walsh, press consultant for the Syracuse University Student Association.
Syracuse police, alerted to the bomb threat, ended the event after talking with the theater management and university organizers, said Sgt. Tom Connellan. The building was evacuated, and bomb-sniffing dogs were called in.
No bomb was found.
