Kennesaw State University issues 'all clear' after on-campus armed robbery prompted lockdown
KENNESAW, Ga. - Kennesaw State University officials sent an "all clear" alert after a report of an armed intruder prompted the campus to go on lockdown for about 40 minutes on Saturday.
A university spokesperson said there was an armed robbery reported at a residence hall on the Kennesaw State campus. Officials said no injuries were reported and officials determined the suspects fled the scene.
School officials said two men were banging on a door in a residential complex. The resident was met with a gun when they opened the door. The thieves reportedly took a gaming console.
The suspects fled in a gray or silver four-door sedan.
Investigators said one of the suspects was wearing a hoodie pulled tight with a surgical mask and the other was wearing a ninja-style mask.
Kennesaw State Emergency Management urged people to seek shelter at about 5:45 p.m. Officials said there is no longer a threat to campus.
The last full week of KSU's Fall 2021 passed, but students still have reasons to be on campus. The school's academic calendar says there is one day of final exams left on Monday. Students could also still be on campus waiting for graduation ceremonies on Tuesday and Wednesday.
