RCC-SOU Medford Campus Closed By Threat

RCC

The RCC/SOU Higher Education Center in Medford was evacuated today following an anonymous threat that referenced the 2015 Umpqua Community College shootings.

The college initiated lockdown procedures at about 12:30 p.m., shortly after staff found a written note in the “G” building mailbox containing what officials believed were credible threats targeting “individual members of the college,” according to Kirk Gibson, Rogue Community College’s vice president of instruction.

The White City and Redwood campuses have not been evacuated, RCC spokesman Grant Walker said. Classes in Medford will resume as scheduled tomorrow.
