The Colorado State University campus was rocked by two separate incidents on Wednesday, resulting in two shelter-in-place orders being issued by the university. The first incident involved an aggravated assault with a knife near Laurel Hall on the Oval, prompting the campus community to remain indoors until the suspect was believed to have fled campus. The suspect is described as a white male in his 30s and is still at large.
The second incident involved a welfare check at Alpine Hall, where a deceased individual was discovered. The cause of death is currently unknown, and the individual’s name has not been released. The campus community was urged to remain sheltered as authorities responded to both incidents.
CSU Police issued updates through their social media channels and lifted both shelter-in-place orders after conducting thorough searches of the areas. The university assured that the two incidents were unrelated. The incidents serve as a reminder for the campus community to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to authorities.
As the investigation into both incidents continues, CSU officials are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, staff, and faculty on campus. The university advises individuals to stay informed through official channels for any updates on the ongoing situations.
