Arrest at college

Gettysburg College Executive Director of Campus Safety Alex Wiltz sent a campus-wide email Tuesday about an incident within a residential building Monday night, according to information released by the college.

“A student reported that a former student threatened them in a College residential building, and said that the threat included a reference to a weapon,” according to the release.

Gettysburg Police Department was contacted for assistance, and a person was arrested, according to Wiltz.

“There was no indication of a threat to the greater community during the time of the incident and there is not a continued threat to campus,” said Wiltz. “College Life staff have been working to follow up and provide support for the students directly impacted by this incident.”

Counseling services were available for students who “were impacted by this event. Their office is available on a walk-in basis during business hours or by calling them at 717-337-6960 for an appointment,” according to information released.

Wiltz closed the email by reminding the student body to keep entrances to residential buildings secure at all times and to not provide access to your residence hall to those who do not live there. Campus Safety can be contacted at 717-337-6911.
