Emory Community,
This afternoon, members of the Oxford College community were asked to shelter in place as the Emory Police Department and local law enforcement agencies investigated a report of an individual with a handgun on campus. After completing this investigation and finding no threat to our community, we issued an all clear. Emory University is now resuming all normal campus operations. I understand that many at Emory—students, faculty, staff, parents and families—were deeply shaken and concerned by this experience. I want you to know that the actions of the Emory Police Department were pursued as a cautionary measure. We responded quickly to keep everyone as safe as possible. Thank you all for your understanding. Sincerely,
Deputy Chief Burt Buchtinec Emory Police Department |
