UC Berkeley orders students to shelter-in-place over 'campus-wide threat'
Police at the UC Berkeley campus were searching for an individual Thursday morning after what authorities described as a "credible campus-wide threat" led to a shelter-in-place order and the cancellation of all classes and school services.
Police have additionally confirmed that this was not an active shooter situation, but noted officers were searching for "a person who may want to harm specific individuals."
UC Berkeley officials said facilities services were locking all buildings on campus and noted that all campus services -- including libraries, dining and parking garages -- were closed until further notice.
In-person classes were canceled through the remainder of the day. Instructors were encouraged to accommodate students and if possible record their remote classes to provide access to students at a later time.
