READ FULL POST BELOW:
A FAMU alert issued a partial lockdown, asking the campus community to shelter in place on the west campus. Local public safety partners assisted FAMU police in investigating each report.
Following a thorough review and coordination with local, state, and federal law enforcement, officials determined there is no reason to believe the calls represented a legitimate threat.
The campus is operating normally. Out of an abundance of caution, there is an increased law enforcement presence on campus as officials follow standard safety protocols.
The FAMU Police Department asks anyone who observes suspicious activity to contact them at 850-599-3256 or call 911.
