“No other individuals were involved, and at no time was there an active threat to students, faculty, or staff. SCC is fully cooperating with local law enforcement in their investigation,” English said in the release.
“The safety and well-being of our campus community remain our top priority. SCC is reviewing policies and procedures to ensure the continued safety of all students, employees, and visitors.”
