Bomb threat halts Stones concert
A Rolling Stones concert at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville was halted after 911 operators received a bomb threat specifically targeting the stage area, university officials said.
A 45-minute police sweep of the area Thursday found nothing unusual, and the band completed the show without further incident, university spokeswoman Carol Wood said.
The interruption came about eight songs into the show at the 61,000-seat Scott Stadium. Mick Jagger announced to the audience that authorities had told the band to take a 10-minute break, and the musicians immediately left the stage area.
