Shortly
before 10:30 am on Thursday February 4, 2016 a lock down was initiated at the
Nanaimo Vancouver Island University (VIU) campus after reports were received of
a male with an object that appeared to be a handgun.
As
per VIU policy, all students and staff were locked within their respective
buildings. The Nanaimo RCMP attended and began searching the campus for the
suspect.
At
11:00 am, the search was concluded as the male was not located. This information
was forwarded to the senior administration at VIU and their decision was to lift
the lock down and resume normal activities on campus.
The
Nanaimo RMP is continuing with their investigation. They will be
reviewing surveillance tapes and speaking with witnesses to the incident. If
anyone has information they are asked to contact the Nanaimo RCMP at
250-754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, text 274637, keyword Nanaimo
or submit a TIP online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com
IM calling BULLSHIT ,, where is this so called eye witnes ? ..I think VIU just wanted to test thier new system out,, and create more GUN fear !!!!!
ReplyDeletedon't know what camera footage they reviewing since there is NO SECURITY CAMERAS!!!! At viu.Hopefully this will get viu to put cameras on campus.as so many know when our stuff gets stolen there is NOTHING to check and hopefully catch the thieves who know they are safe stealing there cause their privacy is protected while committing crimes .but all us victims of the crimes don't have anything protecting us.
