LAS VEGAS (AP) — UNLV students have confronted administrators amid safety concerns after a delay in alerting students about a shooting threat discovered in a bathroom stall five days earlier.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that students told university administrators that they were at risk from the time authorities discovered the threat Oct. 10 to when they sent a precautionary announcement Oct. 14.
Police say the threat citing a planned shooting Oct. 16 was not found credible.
Authorities say campus police hoped to investigate and make an arrest before alerting the campus.
Student residents say existing security measures also created an ongoing safety issue after discovering security guards failed to check ID at residence halls.
Students also say they were met with three-week long waiting lists at counseling services despite advertising available services.
