Subject: UPDATE: EIU Campus Safety Notification
At approximately 9:20 a.m., Eastern Illinois University received a report from an unidentified single unconfirmed and non-credible-information caller to a non-emergency line claiming an armed individual was on campus. EIU Police, in coordination with the local law enforcement agencies, immediately activated emergency protocols and issued an Alert EIU notification to students, employees, and community members.
By 9:45 a.m., officers had conducted building walkthroughs and reviewed campus surveillance footage. No individual matching the report was located and the report appears to be unfounded.
The EIU campus has resumed normal operations may resume. Anyone who observes suspicious activity should call 911 immediately.
If any student or employee would like support following this incident, counseling services are available through EIU’s Counseling Clinic by calling (217) 581-3413, or visiting the clinic on the first floor of the Human Services Building.
The safety of EIU's students, employees and community remains the University's top priority.
