University of Winnipeg on high alert after threat:
A little bit more than a year after the Dawson College shootings a threat was discovered at the University of Winnipeg.
Students at the University of Winnipeg will be sharing the halls with police and security guards today after a threat was scrawled on a men’s bathroom wall in the school.
CTV Winnipeg has learned the message threatened to “shoot up this place on Sept. 26.”
University of Winnipeg spokesperson Dan Hurley told CTV Newsnet Friday that the university is taking no chances and is doing all it can to warn students about the threat. It’s sending out emails, leaflets, and media reports to get the word out that the campus community needs to be vigilant.
On its website, the university confirmed the message warned of an occurrence on the morning of Sept. 26.
Even though this threat should be taken seriously history has shown it’s the ones that you never see that you really have to worry about.
