Firearm Puts San Juan College on Lockdown

Wednesday, December 7, 2016 at 1:38 PM

The suspect fled campus after the confrontation and SJC DPS and Farmington Police were notified. The campus was immediately put into Emergency Lockdown procedures.  Soon after, the suspect returned to SJC and was detained by the Farmington Police Department. No injuries were reported.  San Juan College believes this was an isolated incident, unrelated to any other campus events.

From San Juan College:

On December 7 at approximately 10:55 a.m., a San Juan College Department of Public Safety representative was confronted by an individual with a firearm in Parking Lot A, near the intersection of College Boulevard and Campus Avenue. The suspect fled campus after the confrontation and SJC DPS and Farmington Police were notified. The campus was immediately put into Emergency Lockdown procedures.  Soon after, the suspect returned to SJC and was detained by the Farmington Police Department.

No injuries were reported. 

San Juan College students and staff received two emergency RAVE alerts during this incident. The alert with the subject line “Shooting Report Lockdown” included misinformation. According to reports from the SJC Public Safety Department, no firearm was discharged.

San Juan College believes this was an isolated incident, unrelated to any other campus events.

The Alertus function of the Rave System, which broadcast Rave Alerts on San Juan College computer screens, did not activate as normal during this incident although this function is tested weekly. San Juan College is working with Rave technicians to resolve this issue.
