Friday classes are cancelled at Southwestern Illinois College due to a reported bomb threat.  It happened just after 8 a.m.  Authorities in Belleville evacuated the campus after someone called in a bomb threat to the school.

Campus officials confirm students have been moved from buildings to allow police to search.  Several students say traffic was heavy leaving the campus.

About 10 minutes away, Freeburg High School is on lockdown due to a gun threat. Parents were notified Thursday night.  Police are on campus, conducting searches of the school and surrounding area.

Fire swept through a home in Kane, IL Wednesday night taking the lives of a 28 year old woman and her ten year old daughter.  Firefighters rescued the woman's six year old son from a back bedroom.

A neighbor, Sunny Shaw, said she spotted flames in the kitchen about ten-thirty PM and called the fire department.  "The flames weren't that bad, but there was smoke everywhere," Shaw said.   Firefighters from several departments responded and spent more than four hours on the scene.

Charred wood and appliances, toys and furniture littered the yard of the home at Hinton St. and Hinton Alley.  The Illinois State Fire Marshal is investigating the blaze.  Autopsies of both victims will be done.
