This is pretty weird

quote:

AU ALERT: The Auburn University Department of Public Safety & Security and the Auburn Police Division have been made aware of information being circulated regarding a threatening message posted in a campus restroom. While no immediate threat has been substantiated, police presence has and will be increased in and around the campus of Auburn University.

This is a good reminder to always be vigilant about reporting security concerns and to make sure you are signed up to receive emergency notifications via AU ALERT (link on the Campus Life tab in AU Access). Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to immediately report suspicious activity to the Auburn Police Division at 334-501-3100 or by calling 911.

Was typing my thread on this at the same time. I put everything I heard in there.

quote:

Anybody heard about this? I heard there was a guy in a dark trench coat being suspicious in Lowder today. Cops were called but he was gone by the time they were there. Then there's a picture of a message written around the building that says "To Whom it may concern, April 16th 2014 I will unleash a rampage of Biblical proportion across the this tiny campus. You have been warned." Why isn't there at least an AU alert about this? Thinking about not going to class tomorrow.

@TheAUPlainsman: Auburn police say this is not being taken lightly. Officers are searching campus now. If you see anything, please notify the police at once.


Also heard there's an AU Alert about to go out canceling classes. I don't know how true that rumor is though.

Eagle Eye TV just said they are working on an AU Alert.

You need to edit the original post title which is shown HERE above. I almost didn't even open the message, but sometimes I HEAR things subconsciously that say go ahead and open it.

I doubt very seriously when this kind of situation is going on that fricking spelling is the first priority dipshit.

I can't shake the feeling this is some a-hole craving attention and freaking everyone out in the process.

You can't be too careful though.

I work on campus as a GA and my buddy who also is a GA says this is legit. Student affairs officials are working with police on a game plan right now.

There's no doubt it's a legit threat. I saw 3 APD officers walking through the student center looking for suspicious activity

Does anybody know if Auburn is the only University to receive this threat?

I don't think you are allowed to carry on campus even if you have a license. They will probably be searching people tomorrow so not exactly a great idea to carry tomorrow.

You aren't allowed to, but that doesn't change the fact that people will do it
