There was an off-campus incident near 36th Avenue and Vermont this evening that involved a dispute that resulted in multiple gunshots. Two stray bullets entered the GCU Campus. One struck a student near The Rivers Residence Hall. That student is at the hospital with a non-life threatening injury and is expected to be OK. The parents of the student have been notified. Another stray bullet struck one of our residence halls but did not injure any students.

We are in close contact with City of Phoenix Police, which recommends that the immediate neighborhood and the University Campus is in no current danger and that a lockdown of the campus is not necessary.

We do recommend that students, for their own safety, use good judgement and remain on campus this evening.
