This is all they published:
The College received a general threat of violence via email on Sunday evening. The email was sent to multiple college offices and was discovered this morning.
College staff contacted the Mount Vernon and Oak Harbor Police Departments immediately to report the threat. The Emergency Operations Center put the college into lockdown at 8:42 a.m.
A similar threat was made to Bellevue College and Everett Community College. Bellevue College went into lockdown on Friday and Everett CC did so this morning. EOC staff communicated with staff at both colleges to learn more about their investigations.
In coordination with the MVPD and OHPD, the lockdown was lifted at 9:30 a.m.
Local law enforcement continues to investigate. In the meantime, law enforcement and the College’s Safety and Security office are providing increased patrols.
We will update as more information becomes available.
