Most students never encounter someone acting in an unlawful and/or dangerous manner on campus. However, we do have some guidelines to follow if you come in contact with a disruptive individual or an armed individual.
Armed Individual
Should you encounter an armed individual or if you witness any armed individual on campus at any time or if an individual is acting in a hostile or belligerent manner, immediately contact University Police at 911 or (859) 572-7777.
There is no one procedure the authorities can recommend in this situation.
Attempt to get the word out to other staff if possible, and call University Police at 911 or (859) 572-7777 if that seems practical.
Use common sense. If hiding or fleeing is impossible, attempt to negotiate with the individual.
Attempting to overcome the armed subject with force is a last resort that should only be initiated in the most extreme circumstances.
Remember, there may be more than one active armed subject.
Wait for the "all clear" instruction.
Be careful not to make any changes to the scene of the incident since law enforcement authorities will investigate the area later.
In case you must flee, do not go to the normal gathering site for your building. Get as far away from the shooting scene as possible and then contact authorities.
Contact the Northern Kentucky University Police Department at (859) 572-7777.
