Earlier this morning, the WashU Police Department received multiple calls reporting an individual with a weapon on the Danforth Campus. Out of an abundance of caution, a WashU Alert notification was sent and officers immediately responded and conducted a search of campus buildings.
After a thorough search, no armed individual was located. At this time, there is no active threat to campus, and we believe the reports were not a credible threat. It’s important to note that we take false reports like this very seriously and will investigate and pursue charges against anyone who is found to be responsible.
