STLCC Chancellor Jeff Pittman released a statement earlier today about yesterday’s shooting at Central Visual Performing Arts High School, which can be read at the end of this article.
Although it occurred at the same time, yesterday’s lockdown at the Forest Park campus was not due to the shooting. Instead, the lockdown was due to a situation nearby.
According to STLCC, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (STLMPD) received a report that a suicidal person armed with a handgun was in the area. Once the STLMPD determined that the person did not pose a threat to the campus, normal campus activities resumed.
