This afternoon, students notified WKU Housing & Residence Life staff of a threatening post on Snapchat regarding the 9th floor of Hugh Poland Hall. WKU Police responded to the scene and secured the area. Emergency alert notifications were activated at 5:28 p.m., and students in Hugh Poland Hall were asked to stay in their rooms while police cleared the building floor by floor.
In coordination with the FBI, WKU PD is working to obtain the suspect’s information from Snapchat. Police have issued the all-clear. All students, including residents of Hugh Poland Hall, can resume normal activities. The WKU Police investigation will continue.
As always, students are asked to report any suspicious activity, and if you see something, say something. We thank members of the Hilltopper Community for speaking up today. You can contact WKU Police by calling 270-745-2548 or 911.
