Maroon Alerts: situation on campus?

[LC Dawg]

Wonder if that was a cover story to keep panic down?

I was thinking that too. Someone starts screaming bomb and the orderly evacuation would have been over.
Maroon alerts scare the shit out of me when I have family, especially my kids, on campus.

Campus back to normal activity except library.

What's bad is there are a bunch of elementary kids on campus now I think. I saw signs over campus about impact2 which is a math camp for 4th-8th graders. Maybe they're not here yet.

I was on campus in Mccool Hall (straight across drill field from library). Never really was any panic. Just got our stuff and walked out. Saw people walking out of the library but there wasn't anyone running or anything like that. I didn't know until I had gotten to my truck that it was an actual bomb threat. Also never really saw a heavy police presence or anything. I don't want that to sound like I'm complaining or anything, just wasn't anything like the shooter situation.

Camp Jigsaw is a special needs camp with over 50 special need boys with Autism on campus at this time. It is great that they were on an off campus excursion this afternoon. There are other camps in the morning and afternoon most of the summer along with the New Student Orientation happening.....

Bomb threat....on summer break....somebody needs something to do...while growing up

Not exactly break. Summer first term finals start tomorrow. I think a lot of grad student work was due today at the library.

2 things I know as a LEO is you never order an evacuation in an active shooter situation, due to u not knowing where the gunman is. 2nd the university needs to look at a different method on sending alerts for a bomb threat. Cellphone and radio signals can possibly set off a certain type bomba.

For those that have loved ones (kids, etc) on campus, do these type scares influence how you perceive LEO, politics, etc?

I pulled up the drill field webcam as soon as I got the notice (was home today instead of on campus). You're right- it all looked pretty calm.
