Robert Bowns and his fellow students were studying when they were startled by the sound of gunfire right nearby.
“I could only hear the sound of gunshots, bop, bop, bop, repeatedly,” recalled Bowns. “Within five minutes, I received a report from the campus about an armed intruder on the premises.”
At 4:07 p.m., a campus-wide alert was issued, urging individuals to remain vigilant and secure their doors and windows.
Bowns recalled that the incident occurred during the early hours, when classes could have potentially been in session.
KSU Emergency Management cleared the area at 4:43 pm, ensuring that it was safe for everyone to come out. Meanwhile, the police maintained the closure of Campus Loop Road behind the Austin Resident Complex for several hours. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation also arrived at the scene to assist in collecting evidence.
KSU President Kathy S. Schwaig expressed her heartfelt condolences and sympathy to the victim’s family and friends, acknowledging the immense difficulty they must be facing during this time.
Kennesaw State University is actively offering assistance and valuable resources to individuals impacted by the shooting incident.
An armed intruder has prompted a “KSU Alert” for the second time this year.
In January, students and staff had to take shelter on campus for several hours due to reports of an individual with a gun. According to the police, three suspects entered the university’s premises after a carjacking incident in DeKalb County. At least one of the suspects was armed, and the stolen vehicle was sighted in Cobb County.
