The student has been incarcerated and is not expected to be released anytime soon. Students, faculty and staff are safe.

The primary objective of SWAG�ϼ�’s Campus Safety personnel was to remove the student from the public area. The student was moved to an office where a Campus Safety employee attempted to defuse the situation. The employee contacted authorities and had additional staff on hand to minimize the student’s contact with the public.
