sketches to both colleges.
Students are advised not to
make contact with the people
in question.
“We have no report of them
being armed, but we can’t tell
that for sure,” said Criminal
Justice Chair Dick Ashbaugh.
“Our witnesses haven’t report
ed any weapons.”
Instead, Ashbaugh advises
students to observe from afar
and report suspicious per
sons or behaviors to Campus
Safety.
“Contact Campus Safety on
a school phone at ext. 6650,” said
Ashbaugh.
“Let the officer know
where they are, which direction they
. are headed, what type of clothing
they are wearing, and if they are in a
vehicle, what type of vehicle it is and
its license plate number.”
