Baylor Campus Shelter-in-Place Lifted After Police Search

On June 26, Baylor University in Waco, Texas, issued a shelter-in-place alert as police searched for two robbery suspects who fled on foot after abandoning a Kia SUV near campus. The incident started around 11:50 a.m. when Texas Department of Public Safety troopers attempted a traffic stop and the suspects evaded, prompting a multi-agency search with helicopter support. Authorities advised students, faculty, and staff to stay indoors and away from doors and windows, stressing that the alert was not a drill. Police were specifically searching for two men in black who were seen trying to enter a gated area on campus. Authorities did not believe the suspects were armed but urged continued caution. The shelter-in-place order was lifted about an hour and a half later when police confirmed the suspects were no longer believed to be on campus.
