º£½ÇÔ­´´

The UC º£½ÇÔ­´´ community is saddened by the news that individuals enjoying a day at Community Park in º£½ÇÔ­´´ were injured in a shooting Saturday afternoon. That the incident occurred as thousands of people were enjoying the university’s annual student-led Picnic Day on campus, is even more disheartening. The on-campus festivities were winding down when news broke about the shooting.

Like everyone, UC º£½ÇÔ­´´ is learning more from the city of º£½ÇÔ­´´ Police, who are leading this investigation. We wish a full recovery for those individuals who were injured. We’re grateful for the response from the º£½ÇÔ­´´ Police Department and other first responders on scene, including the UC º£½ÇÔ­´´ police and fire departments. We are checking in with our students to determine if any of those who were at Community Park today need support.

Picnic Day is a day when tens of thousands of visitors join us as we celebrate our people, programs and community. Our hearts go out to our students who organize such a massive effort on campus, and to all those in the city of º£½ÇÔ­´´, where activities often peaceably continue.

As the º£½ÇÔ­´´ Police continue their investigation, we will cooperate fully.

We will provide updates that are pertinent to campus if we have them.
