this is what happen..


About 6:30 pm on Sunday, March 8, a shot was fired in the area of Sierra Vista Avenue and Riverwalk Parkway. An off-duty Corona police officer saw the alleged shooter, a white male age 20-25. The suspect then fled the scene toward the LSU campus. Riverside Police Department officers arrived on the scene quickly, began searching the track and gym area for any evidence.

Another witness reported seeing the suspect in the area of the library. RPD officers moved their search to the library, Ambs Hall/MICOL, physical plant, and the campus property surrounding those buildings. A third witness saw the suspect in the area of Upper Campus Drive and Raley.

Following a systematic search of the upper campus area, RPD concluded the suspect had fled the campus into the neighborhood bordering the campus. Additionally, the Riverside Police Department officers do not believe that this situation was directed at any student, nor do they believe this person has any connection to the campus. They are of the opinion that this was a random occurrence. As of 8:20 pm, no arrests had been made, and no weapon was found.

The campus electronic alert system was operational during the situation. The all clear notice to the campus was sent out at 8:10 pm.

Throughout the situation, the president, provost, vice president for student life, the dean of students, and campus pastor were on campus in key locations. Campus buildings were quickly secured, and students were encouraged to stay inside for the duration of the situation. Campus security officers worked in close cooperation with Riverside Police Department during the search.

While La Sierra University continues to be a very safe campus, this situation reminds us all of the need to be aware of our surroundings at all times. All of us together make for a safer campus. Thanks to our security department for their quick, professional response to the situation.
