The fatal shooting led officials at Northwestern University to issue a shelter-in-place. However, the city of Evanston did not send out a similar order.
According to officials, no one is in custody, and an investigation is still ongoing. And while the University did implement an order and issue campus lockdown procedures, the city of Evanston did not.
"First of all, I want to respond to some questions I’ve received about the City’s decision-making and communications on Wednesday evening," Biss' statement reads."The City quickly determined that this was not a random act and that there was no active shooter, and therefore that residents were not in any immediate threat.".
"We already have met with key members of the leadership team to discuss what happened last night and have instructed them to review our response, our procedures and the phone communication that was sent in error to ensure we do better when the next incident happens," the update goes on to say.
