“ Better in complete safety than sorry ‘: Usu explains the evacuation before turning point usa stop
LOGAN – The “suspicious device” which caused an evacuation of the former main building on the Campus of the State University of UTAH before a USA Turning Point event turned out to be an educational tool.
It was a wildlife telemetry necklace used for field research, the university said in a press release published on Wednesday. The necklace had been placed near Old Main outside by an USU employee for a first cycle class to practice telemetry work.
It was exploded by the explosive ammunition elimination team, or a bomb squad, which generally explodes objects with GPS signals, cell antennas and other elements, according to the press release.
“I am grateful that our Aggie Campus community is proactive as to security,” said Ellis Bruch, executive director of USU Public Safety, in the press release. “Better that the fact that sorry is not a cliché. It is an excellent reminder to always remain alert and diligent. We are all better when we are looking for each other. We encourage everyone if you see something, say something. It is good to see the system working.”
The wildlife pass was reported on Tuesday around 2:45 p.m. and the university police quickly ordered the evacuation of the building. An alert on the campus scale was also sent to students and teachers to advise them on the situation.
The officers “judged (the decipation) are not spent”, according to a Tuesday declaration, but “by abundance of prudence”, they decided to explode it.
Old Main was declared “clear and safe” at 3:45 pm
The report on the suspicious apparatus was particularly worrying on Tuesday because it was before an event “American Comeback Tour” planned for the evening. A panel of speakers – including the senator from UTAH, Mike Lee, the Governor of Utah Spencer Cox, the representative of Arizona Andy Biggs and the former representative of Utah Jason Chaffetz – is taken the place of a killed conservative activist and the co -founder of Turning Point, Charlie Kirk, who made the head of tours years.
Kirk was shot dead during a tour of the University of Utah Valley campus in Orem on September 10. A 22 -year -old Washington County man was accused of Kirk’s murder.
