Berkshire Community College Threat Not Credible

The reports authorities determined that a threat made by an individual who said that someone would bring a gun to Berkshire Community College on Monday morning was not credible.

The school received a call at 9:40 a.m. from someone claiming that an individual planned to bring a gun to the college's main campus on West Street. The call to the school came after two individuals were involved in a dispute, and one called the college and said the other was bringing a gun to the school, according to BCC spokeswoman Christina Wynn.

Law enforcement authorities determined the threat was not credible after speaking with the person who had threatened to bring the gun to BCC, Wynn said. The incident was resolved around 1 p.m.

Troopers located the student who made the threat at her home, and determined that she was not a threat and did not possess firearms.
