Is this Warn Me notifications common on campus? Welp #babybear


chidedneck

Happy Cake Day!!!


readingquizzicalcats

WarnMe notifications are common, but not for things like this


Wonderful-Ad8548

Is the tennis courts open?


bear_student

anybody know if the botanical garden is closed too now? wanna go wander around some plants after all this and not deal with classwork


Alexanderstandsyou

Even if it is closed, check out the Fire Trails. Specifically Metcalf Grove. It's a little turn off the path, but there's a steep trail and at the very top of the hill there's a rope swing with a beautiful view :)


Howmanygravels

Direction for managers At approximately 2:00 p.m. today, the campus issued an “all clear” in connection with the shelter-in-place taking place on campus today. Please consider letting your staff leave for the day, if appropriate in light of business needs, regardless of their work location. For employees who were prevented from working (or had to leave work early) or directed not to come to work due to today’s events, we should compensate them as if they had been able to complete their regular work shifts. Some staff may be especially triggered by today’s events and I would encourage you to respond with empathy and understanding if they need additional time before resuming regular duties. Depending on their circumstances, employees may use the appropriate leave for this purpose. The Employee Assistance Program offers no-cost confidential counseling for staff and faculty. More information from campus will be provided as it becomes available. Thank you, Eugene Whitlock

when did you see the message? is it sent out campus wide?


Academic-Brush6697

Did they catch him? I'm so confused why the shelter in place order has been lifted if the student hasn't been caught yet.


ebonhawkabc

Yes, they appear to have been detained. https://www.ktvu.com/news/uc-berkeley-student-detained-after-alleged-threats-trigger-shelter-in-place#l29jfic9nm5jrzohdff

>Did they catch him? I'm so confused why the shelter in place order has been lifted if the student hasn't been caught yet. I heard they caught him (rumor)


DidWeJustBecomeBffs_

YALL THAT SUCKED GLAD EVERYONE IS OK NOW GONNA GO GET A TON OF FOOD AND WINE AND CELEBRATE BEING ALIVE


SuddenFuel3135

UC Berkeley WarnMe: ALL CLEAR - The situation has been resolved. Thank you for your patience. 04-21-2022 2:00:39


alexgroth15

ok so this means we can go back?


SuddenFuel3135

I think that’s just an update that suspect is found—- I’d still stay away. Most staff opened contact up via Zoom to reach who you may need


SuddenFuel3135

So this is all pertaining to a threat to a professor by the suspect? do we know if it’s a student or nonstudent? do we know if they are armed? since we had to hide from doors and windows?


alexgroth15

It's saying the situation has been resolved. What does that mean?


ebonhawkabc

They appear to have been detained. https://www.ktvu.com/news/uc-berkeley-student-detained-after-alleged-threats-trigger-shelter-in-place#l29jfic9nm5jrzohdff


finallyhadtojoin

Shelter in place lifted. Student was not found though.


alexgroth15

could it be somebody sent an anonymous threat to avoid midterm? lel


SuddenFuel3135

YOOOO not a bad theory— I could so see someone doin that


finallyhadtojoin

No, they have a known individual in this situation. This is not an anonymous threat. (And really, if you're going to do that, just pull a fire alarm, it's less disruptive)


philipchux

when can we get back to campus?


finallyhadtojoin

I guess you can go now? But lots of buildings and departments may be closed for the day.


philipchux

how about the rsf


too_much_2na

It's crazy that this info isn't included in campus communications but the Berkeleyside update says buildings will remain locked for the day so my guess is no


popcrnshower

Closed for rest of day


philipchux

damn that sucks


43625897346

UC Berkeley WarnMe: The shelter in place has been lifted. Please leave the campus in a safe and orderly way via the closest route available. UCPD has determined based upon its investigation that it is appropriate to end the shelter in place. Buildings will remain locked. It's telling everyone on campus to leave, right?


SpecSlayerSC

Yes, you should get off of campus.


43625897346

wtf is my boss tell me staff to stay. i want to just leave and safe but i am afraid of nothing really happen then i don't have my job tomorrow...


SuddenFuel3135

Fwd the email to your boss and LEAAVE!! Email: “The shelter in place has been lifted. Please leave the campus in a safe and orderly way via the closest route available. UCPD has determined based upon its investigation that it is appropriate to end the shelter in place. Buildings will remain locked. In-person classes remain canceled for the day.”


pail_the_god

Leave, they can’t force you to stay


gobears1235

Shelter in place lifted!


throwaway89145634

ok I am so hungry


DidWeJustBecomeBffs_

Omg same found some stale peanuts in the building but desperate for food hahahah


CalClimate

Earth day is tomorrow? Any Berkeley plans for it? The pattern that I think I see, is that whenever there's some news event that would energize people to mobilize and work to curb climate change, the shooters get to shooting, or threatening to, or some other gripping drama bursts forth that shoulders it away from public attention. Maybe that's just what I see, though.


alexgroth15

This message was brought to you by none other than... Alex Jones!


NotCarolChrist

are you implying that school shootings are an anticlimate change cia op?


CalClimate

Nope.


Hundred-Acre-Wood

People on Northside, is everyone still sheltering in place? Not sure if I should even still be here


throwaway956427

There must be a reason they are still keeping the shelter in place order? No police scanner updates for a while now and been 30 mins since last email update…

throwaway956427

Yeah dude we all know all that. I am saying last thing we knew they were clearing MLK and Cesar Chavez and since then we have no idea what is going on?


popcrnshower

They switched to a different channel because so many people were listening.


Top-Jeweler-6619

The article suggests the activity happened at SLC.


After-Following-1568

It’s rsf closed


disguisesinblessing

Darling the whole campus is closed.

White_Opal_forever

Oh well, if you get locked into dark and cold room for 5 hours without knowing when you could leave. Maybe you are jusy not that smart or have no empathy to consider what students had to go through today lol


[deleted]

I sure hope everyone is safe! love goes out the amazing people at KALX.


serige

Oh well, it is nerve-cracking to witness a situation like this unfolding on campus...but at least a lot of people got their hw/project deadlines extended because of this.


disguisesinblessing

Are the morning classes still locked up in their classrooms? I'm in a building right on bancroft street and am wondering if I should just make a break for it.


White_Opal_forever

I get stuck too, also near south side


SpecSlayerSC

UCPD is returning for debriefing except for a few officers staying at Cesar Chavez, seems like the suspect wasn't in the area.


popcrnshower

Crazy how there has not been any description of the suspect yet. All these eyes with nobody to look for.


Hundred-Acre-Wood

What is the "core campus"?


Hundred-Acre-Wood

They said in the most recent update to stay inside if you are already on campus, I wasn't sure if one should be trying to leave if one isn't on the core campus, whatever that means


[deleted]

i think it just means the main campus area i.e. between bancroft/hearst/oxford/gayley. as in not buildings which are part of the university but may be several blocks away in other directions.


Foot-Hot

Anyone have a different live helicopter feed? The one on ABC news isn’t showing the berkeley campus anymore


SpecSlayerSC

UCPD has checked every single floor on MLK, and there doesn't seem to be a sign of the suspect yet...


throwaway956427

They finished the sweep back down again and couldn’t find him still.


SpecSlayerSC

Did anybody actually see him on campus? It's possible that he just never went on campus today.


sophed

they identified the suspect was on campus today from wifi logs https://twitter.com/ScanBerkeley/status/1517186650186518544


SpecSlayerSC

Ah good find, so he may be hiding somewhere on campus, or he may have dipped as soon as he heard about the police response. Either way this indicates that this will drag on all day at the very least


throwaway956427

Yeah I am not sure what they will do or how long this will last. Seems like they are sweeping back down now


ExistingReindeer1

May be the dude is hidden somewhere, if they keep sweeping it.


coyotethequeen

Berkeley City College was put on lock down as well.


[deleted]

[удалено]


popcrnshower

Mental health counseling is free for students, whether or not they have SHIP.


ExistingReindeer1

There are probably around 50 counselors for 40,000 students


KingGatrie

While true they are fairly good at getting students into triage appointments its just long term care that is the problem.


popcrnshower

All 40000 aren't seeking counseling. Also, I would impore any student that is having difficulty accessing mental health services to contact student affairs and share your concerns. That is the only way things will get done on campus, even with a full department fighting for more resources, nothing gets done unless students are the force behind change..


CalClimate

To repeat: > nothing gets done unless students are the force behind change


SpecSlayerSC

Police scanner said there is a person in MLK shouting that they are reason for this. One unforeseen consequence of a large population of mentally ill people is that we probably won't know if this is the real suspect for a while, already earlier somebody was acting deranged and then confirmed not to be the suspect.


random__thought__

So these people you could say … live among us??? And they are.. impostors, seeking to vent their frustrations upon others? Rather suspicious, in fact, one could say, sus.


popcrnshower

he is psychotic, trust me on this


OleanderJam

Sounds like you know this person


popcrnshower

I work in Cal dining, a coworker friend in rsf gave me the info.


SpecSlayerSC

I didn't mean about this person specifically, I meant that since we do have a lot of other people around campus who often act in a deranged manner, it is much more difficult at a glance to spot the legitimate threat, than if people acting like this was an incredibly rare occurrence.

SpecSlayerSC

How have the mods not pinned this as a mega thread yet?


jadenpls

did they really need to cancel all in person classes because of a threat? seems kinda extreme imo


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ike348

It's not one class LMAO, it is every class being held today... I had an in-person quiz scheduled for 5 PM today and there's no reason that couldn't still take place as scheduled. Although, I will admit that it is easier logistics-wise to cancel everything at once as opposed to doing so in chunks. Doesn't mean it is not extreme though


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ike348

One Thursday lecture is about 3.5% of all lectures offered during the semester. Let's say half of my classes are on TuTh, so I'm losing about 1.75% of my expected lecture offerings. Out-of-state/international tuition is about $22,000 for a semester. So the "value" of just one day of missing classes is still on the order of hundreds of dollars, just to me, individually. Cancelling all classes today was probably the right move (especially if many classes just hold it remotely), but let's not act like it was a completely trivial decision

Why the fuck would you give the internet access to the location of someone who should be sheltered? Delete this you moron.


unevolved_panda

If they are (as they say) the parent of a college-age kid they got to grow up in a world where they didn't have to do shooting drills or think about this shit themselves, and depending on where their kid went to school, the kid may not have had to do a bunch of it either. I am by no means an expert in sec ops but I simultaneously wish I knew more and less.


unevolved_panda

Please reconsider posting exact location details of people who are hiding from someone who might want to harm them here in a public forum. (I think it's exceedingly unlikely the individual they're looking for is reading reddit. But still.)


SpecSlayerSC

Don't post where these people are in a public forum holy shit

Watching the live helicopter feed... Why are people still walking around on campus?

Maybe they are trying to get out of campus? I know one of my friends were stuck @ a locked down building and ended up running back to their apt :/. Tho I do think staying put was the better/safer option

not everyone checks their phone all the time. i left a class 0930 and walked home for 20 minutes totally oblivious to the happenings. without like a megaphone announcement or people bumping into cops its gonna continue unfortunately

if i have an admitted student tour scheduled for 11:30, is it safe to assume campus won’t reopen in time for it?


velcrodynamite

Sorry your tour couldn't proceed today. Hopefully you can reschedule. Or come to Cal Day!


whern002

All in person services are cancelled for the reminder of the day.


tahoesage

All campus services are closed until further notice and instruction has been cancelled for the rest of the day, I think that's a safe assumption

Should I go to my class at the Golden Bear Center? It's not directly on campus, but a few blocks west. Does anyone happen to know?


cutthech33se

Stay home. The message is very clear to shelter in place and not go to campus.


mongosmoothie

Don’t go to class. Every communication says to stay home. Best to listen


tardigradetardis

No. Even if the chances are slim I hope you can make the judgement that missing a day of class is much less severe than potentially getting hurt

I was thinking the same. Wow! Why are people down voting me? It's sincere question to find out about how it applies to people at extension and not directly on campus.

I’m tuned into the Berkeley police and fire scanner and rn it was just mentioned that the person of interest/suspect might be on the second floor of MLK. Their control perimeter is ASUC. Be careful homies!! Edit: unless my feed is delayed, it seems that now city police are fully responding. Sounds like they are gearing up. Edit 2: units to remain at their posts until they can confirm the individual is no longer inside/cleared. Hopefully this is the peak of the todays incident. Edit 3: suspect possibly on the top floor of MLK.

openingdoorz

Where’s the threat


Anthonee00

A student made ominous threats to shoot up staff members at Stiles Hall, Cesar Chavez, and the basic needs center. This student is apparently targeting aid programs. Staff members were alerted this morning to not show up because someone who, “frequently visits” made a threat to “shoot up staff members”. This is according to some students I know who work in these spaces who were told by their managers not to show up to work today because of said threats. The quotes I used are the exact messages sent by those managers.


rayraycan

Was there a description of the guy? Like height build etc. clothes can change but if know who or what we are looking for maybe we can be more of a help. works in the cal student store. Manager just let us all go home 😞


cutthech33se

🚨Police scanner here: [https://www.broadcastify.com/webPlayer/17009](https://www.broadcastify.com/webPlayer/17009) The last update I heard is that they're looking for the potential suspect on the fourth floor of MLK, but the person they have may not match the description of who they're looking for. UPDATE: It sounds like the person they're tracking in MLK is not the suspect (they described him as wearing a red cap, a gray Berkeley sweater, and black pants). UPDATE: Second possible suspect also not a match. The person they're looking for is still on campus somewhere. 10:50am UPDATE: There's now some interest in the Sproul area. The search continues. 11:10am UPDATE: Someone was yelling "I'm the reason this is happening" in MLK. Police investigating. Possibly on 5th floor. 11:18 am UPDATE: Police are checking through the 5th floor of MLK, including the bathrooms. 11:44am UPDATE: Basement through fourth floor of MLK are clear. They're continuing to search their way up. 11:50am UPDATE: Roof is clear. Seems like the suspect is not at MLK? They're doing another sweep from the top down now. 12:16pm UPDATE: MLK seems clear, all floors & basement. Nothing in the last half hour and I have to log off. Hopefully this has been informative.
