“Multiple law enforcement agencies remain on site for the ongoing investigation. The Student Union and the surrounding area are still considered an active crime scene. Individuals should not return to the area for any reason. Busing is underway to help students reach the reunification point at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center.”
