for the first time in the two years my son has been there, they had a campus wide lock down this morning. Students all received text messages to stay indoors and lock doors and a loud PA system made the announcement. Why? The webiste says

This is an RPIAlert. An armed robbery occurred on Hoosic St. The perpetrator reported near ECAV/LINAC. All should shelter-in-place, that is go indoors, lock windows & doors. An all clear will be sent via RPIAlert when the situation is deemed safe

Those buildings are way at the fringe of campus yet they are shutting down the whole campus. I’d say they are really looking out for the kids. An armed robbery can happen anywhere there’s cash.
