Update on off-campus incident
At approximately 12 p.m. today, a shooting occurred approximately five blocks from the ÐÒ¸£±¦µ¼º½ campus. ÐÒ¸£±¦µ¼º½ police officers and university administrators closely monitored the situation, and because the situation was contained and did not pose a threat to the ÐÒ¸£±¦µ¼º½ community, the campus did not go on lockdown or activate FirstCall, ÐÒ¸£±¦µ¼º½'s emergency notification system.
ÐÒ¸£±¦µ¼º½ police officers responded to the scene and assisted city and state police officers. The incident, which did not involve anyone affiliated with the university, is now over.
ÐÒ¸£±¦µ¼º½ Provost Stephen Richters notified the campus twice today via e-mail, keeping the university community informed of today's incident.
Monroe Police officers are handling the case.
