Bomb Threat Shuts Down Rouge Community College Campuses

GRANTS PASS, Ore. – Multiple law enforcement agencies are responding to reports of a security threat at Rogue Community College’s Redwood Campus in Grants Pass.

No suspicious devices were found on the Rogue Community College campuses but the investigation is ongoing, according to Medford Police.

Another southern Oregon community college was the scene of drama on Monday morning as Rogue River Community College evacuated all of its campuses after reports of armed people and a bomb threat at the Grants Pass location.

The district says that parents can pick up their kids, but they say that there isn’t a reason to.

Students were alerted via email and text.

An RCC representative said they received a security threat, but that it’s unconfirmed at this point. Responders launched a search of the Redwood RCC campus in Grant Pass, where the threat was directed. A lock-in means school is continuing and the district is monitoring the situation.

The notification for the Medford campus went out at 10:40 a.m. and by 10:43 a.m. school officials said all campuses were being evacuated as a precaution. Law Enforcement is investigating. Evacuate campus immediately. Do not wait at an on campus transit stop. If off campus, DO NOT ENTER.
