Baylor University is currently under a full campus lockdown after reports of a dangerous situation involving robbery suspects. Students, faculty, and staff have been instructed to shelter in place as law enforcement agencies sweep the campus.
Initial concerns of an active shooter prompted widespread alarm, but Baylor University officials have clarified on their official website that this is not an active shooter situation. Instead, multiple law enforcement agencies are actively pursuing suspects connected to a robbery, and building-by-building searches are underway to ensure safety.
In a campus-wide alert, Baylor emphasized:
“This is NOT an active shooter situation. Multiple agencies are on campus in pursuit of robbery suspects. As building checks are underway, the campus is under shelter in place until the all-clear is given.”
Local police, campus security, and federal authorities are reportedly coordinating efforts, and the public is urged to avoid the Baylor campus area until further notice.
No injuries have been reported at this time. Authorities have not released descriptions of the suspects or details regarding the robbery incident that led to the lockdown.
Updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Please follow official Baylor University channels and local law enforcement for the latest.
