SEATTLE – A threat scrawled on a toilet paper dispenser has prompted authorities to beef up security today at Seattle Central Community College.
“I will kill everyone at SCCC on May 31,” said the message, found late last week in a men’s restroom.
“Faculty, staff and students are advised to use their best personal judgment about reporting to work and classes Thursday,” school President Mildred Ollee wrote in a letter e-mailed to students and posted on the Web. “If fear prevents you from coming to campus, accommodations will be made.”
The college has about 9,000 full- and part-time students.
College spokeswoman Laura Mansfield said she’s heard from some people who said they won’t be coming to class Thursday.
Seattle police planned to increase their visibility on campus Thursday, Mansfield said.
