Armed police swoop at university campus

A man is led away by police on the Sussex University campus

A suspected gunman was arrested at the Sussex University campus in Falmer this evening (Tuesday 5 March) by armed police.

Students reported that the man was making threats to kill and, as police swooped and searched for the suspect, they evacuated student living quarters to move people to safety.

In a statement prepared before the arrest, Sussex Police said: “Police were called to the Sussex University campus in Brighton just after 6.30pm this evening following a report of a man in possession of a firearm making threats to kill.

“Officers are currently in attendance and a search for the man is under way.

“A number of flats on the campus have been evacuated for the safety of the public.”

    About time they clamped down on the terrorist breeding universities. How much longer will these “education facilities ” be used to breed terrorism. The universities are bad for Brighton, take what you can , give nothing back!!!!!

      The foreign students bring money, no one in charge cares how or from why.

        Your ignorance and grammatical errors highlight the importance of university education. 😉
