New York’s Hamilton College on Lockdown After Bomb, Shooter Threat

NBC News – by Elisha Fieldstadt

A New York college was on lockdown Monday after threats of a bomb and shooter on campus, according to school officials.

Hamilton College, in the town of Clinton in upstate New York, was first locked down at 11:21 a.m. ET and about two hours later, the South Campus was evacuated after a suspicious package was found. The package was investigated and wasn’t found to be a threat, according to the school.

But students and staff at the school were told to continue to shelter in place at 3:15 p.m. as police swept the Kirner-Johnson building, a large building on the northern part of the campus where the threats were first reported, according to the school.  

The school warned in emergency notifications and on their Twitter feed that everyone on the grounds should remain inside, lock doors, close curtains and stay away from windows.

Hamilton is a private college with 1,850 students, most of who live on the 1,300-acre campus, according to the school’s website.

  1. I said in the NC college thread: there’s a pattern here of college-related false flags. I think they want to strike fear in college students.

    1. What better mindless crowd to exploit? Most college students today will have a very rude “awakening” once they graduate with $100,000 student loan debts and no jobs available. Try paying those student loans off working at McDonalds. Not very smart! Yes, it is easy pickings striking fear in a population of gullible young fools who will tell you they know everything!
