PHOTO SLIDESHOW: Suspect apprehended after school evacuated

Students and staff evacuate The Library after a report of an armed suspect at Pierce College, leading to the evacuation of the whole campus in Woodland Hills Calif., May 30, 2014. A suicide note was found by his mother before the man was taken into custody around 12:50 pm off campus at Canoga Bowl on Winnetka and Vanowen. Photo: Diego Barajas.

On Friday May 30, the Library/Learning Crossroads was evacuated and the campus locked down as the Los Angeles Police Department arrived after a librarian saw a man with a potential gun.

All classes have been cancelled and students are being advised to leave the area.

“Kathleen [Burke] has ordered the campus shut down for the remainder of the day,” Dean of Student Services David Follosco said.

In an email from the college, the evacuation is required due to a precaution and more details will come. Remain calm. Follow instructions of emergency and other college personnel. If you’re off campus, do not approach campus until further notice.

Any campus activities that were scheduled for that day was postponed until further notice.
