Nearby Shooting; Be Aware


This week CSULB thefts may be the most common incident--six reported--but maybe not the most startling.

Three CSULB police officers assisted Long Beach Police Department in a shooting at VA Hospital yesterday, Oct. 18, 2009. The suspect escaped in a light colored vehicle heading west on Seventh Street, according to the CSULB police Activity Log. The LBPD is investigating--more to come.

UCSB police officers investigated a campus gunman report today, Oct. 19, 2009. The campus went on lockdown from sometime after 3 p.m. until 5:28 p.m., according to LA Times. In the end police failed to find a gunman.

Luckily our campus police weren't called to a CSULB campus shooting, but awareness is key to safety. Make sure to sign up with the Emergency Notification System so you are immediately notified if one day our campus is not so lucky.
