All Yavapai College Campuses Lockdown Lifted After Unsubstantiated Threat

Yavapai College in Arizona underwent a lockdown and closure of all its campuses and centers after receiving a threatening phone call from an individual claiming to be on campus with a firearm. The lockdown began early Monday morning and involved a coordinated response from multiple law enforcement agencies, with a thorough sweep of the facilities ultimately finding no substantiated threat or injuries. The college remained closed for the rest of the day as a precaution and to support ongoing investigations into the incident. The lockdown occurred between academic sessions, reducing the number of people on campus and potentially limiting the risk of harm. Officials have expressed gratitude for community patience and law enforcement's swift actions, while investigations continue to determine the nature of the threat. Yavapai College plans to reopen on May 20 following the incident.
