On
Sunday, HCC decided to close the campus to allow HCC police to put in place
heightened security measures in response to a shooting threat made on social
media over the weekend.
In
addition to the extra precautions at Central Campus, HCC will continue to
provide additional security at each of its other campuses while this matter is
under investigation.
HCC
is working in partnership with local and federal agencies to identify the
source and the veracity of the threat at this time. If you are aware of any
information that would help, please contact HCC PD at 713-718-8888. We also
ask that any information of a suspicious nature, no matter how small or large,
always be relayed to HCC PD immediately. If you see something, say something.
“I
want to thank all of the local law enforcement agencies that have played a role
in responding to this situation,” said HCC Police Chief Greg Cunningham. “There
will be a visible increased police presence around Central Campus. With the
security plan we have put in place, we are ready for students to return and
focus their attention on their final exams.”
