Hundreds of students have been evacuated from a dorm on the University of Central Florida campus in Orlando after explosives devices were found while authorities were investigating a death.

Police were called to Tower 1 early Monday after a fire alarm went off. Arriving officers found a man dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police told local TV stations they found an assault weapon and improvised explosive devices on the scene.

About 500 students were evacuated from the dorm and a parking garage was closed.

The university has cancelled classes through noon Monday as a precaution.

A statement on the university's website said the UCF Arena will open Monday morning to accommodate displaced students.

It was not immediately known whether the dead man is a student.

I've gotta wonder.......

In newz-speak, is an evacuation different than a lockdown?

I would think in one instance government is keeping people out while in the other they're keeping them in..

Hundreds of students have been evacuated...

The folks at the AP apparently missed season five of The Wire.
