A false ‘active attacker’ alert was sent to Humber College students and employees through a mobile app at the International Graduate School and Lakeshore Campus on Wednesday afternoon.
The Humber community received the notice at around 3 p.m. through the Humber Guardian app, advising to “initiate active attacker procedures immediately.” The app acts as a platform for students and staff to access campus safety and security resources, vaccine passports, emergency contacts, safety services, alerts and other emergency tools.
Sylvie Lendvay, Media Relations and External Communications Specialist at Humber College, confirmed in an email statement that this was a false threat. A person, who remains unidentified, engaged the warning system on campus by pressing an alarm in the building at Humber IGS, according to Lendvay. But the alert went out to students and staff at both campuses. Once an alarm is activated, it automatically sends out a message on the Humber Guardian app, she said.
Public safety determined it was a false alarm before lockdown procedures began. An alert was sent to the Humber community at around 4 p.m. confirming the false threat, and stating that normal activities could be resumed. A student expressed frustration on social media, saying that many did not receive the notification and were not informed fast enough, had this been a real threat.
