According to Southwestern College officials, a “credible threat made by a student” has prompted the evacuation of their Chula Vista campus and all of its centers. Southwestern College campus police are currently investigating the threat as they evacuate students and staff.
Campus police are currently on the scene. The campus and classes have been closed for the rest of the day.
In addition to the Chula Vista campus, the San Ysidro, National City, Otay Mesa, and Coronado centers, as well as the First Health Fitness Club and Wellness & Aquatics Complex have also been closed.
