A message from our Chief of Police, Shawn Burns:

[WTAMU Police @WTAMU_Police]

Our agency sought a student of interest today on campus following reports of threatening statements. Despite social media rumors, there was no active threat on campus and no active attack ever took place. The student was placed into custody in Tulia by mid-afternoon.

[WTAMU Police @WTAMU_Police]

Suspect is in custody, all clear. Resume normal activity.

[WTAMU Police @WTAMU_Police]

There has been no lockdown given at this time, resume normal activity.

[WTAMU Police @WTAMU_Police]

There has been NO confirmed threat to campus. UPD is aware of a group text sharing information concerning a student of interest. UPD is currently looking for the student.

This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. If this had been an actual emergency, you would have received further instructions.
