NAU Police release 911 recording

FLAGSTAFF — Northern Arizona University Police released recordings of their 911 call from the shooting tragedy that took place on campus early morning yesterday.

Counseling Services have been set up today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10. The Office of Student Life and the Health and Learning Center also will open at 10 a.m. NAU students representing fraternity and sorority life are planning a candlelight vigil at 7 p.m. on the North Quad of the Flagstaff campus.

NAU has an emergency text alert system, however human error caused the alerts to be initially sent at 2:52 a.m. to only 700 people. The residence hall director was one who received the text and took immediate steps to warn everyone in the hall.

An NAU statement read, “Redundancies in our communications led to the residence hall director securing the area where the immediate threat was identified.”
