EvCC Update: May 19, 2023 Lockdown Lifted

EvCC Update

Everett Community College and WSU Everett went on lockdown at 12:53 p.m. Friday due to confirmed reports of a shooter near the east side of campus in North Everett. The lockdown was modified to a shelter-in-place warning after 16 minutes, in which classes and activities resumed while exterior doors remained locked as a precaution.

At 1:20 p.m., EvCC Security learned from law enforcement that the suspect was in custody, and the college ended the lockdown. Once we were sure the potential threat was resolved and everyone was safe, we resumed normal operations. At no time were any of our students or staff in harm’s way.
