A male suspect called two offices at Arapahoe Community College and made threats to the campus on Nov. 13 at 5:01 p.m. The suspect was apprehended by Lakewood police without incident.
Student Patrick Martin said police ran through the hallways ordering everyone to get out of the building immediately. He saw several police cars outside as a long line of vehicles made their way off campus.
The campus was on lockdown until about 6:50 p.m., when it was closed for the evening.
“In light of the threat, it is prudent to close the campus for the rest of the evening,” reads an email sent to students.
As of 7:25 p.m., things appeared normal other than the empty hallways. The campus returned to normal activities the next day.
Campus police urge students to remain diligent and report any suspicious activity to them at 303-797-5800.
