CHESTERTOWN, Md. (AP) - Washington College in Maryland has closed its campus until further notice after a student went missing after returning home to Pennsylvania to get a gun.
The college said in a statement Tuesday it would close after receiving new information from law enforcement. The school was closed Monday after a student's parents reported he retrieved a firearm and they were unable to reach him.
The college says it hasn't received direct threats against the campus. The school said arrangements would be made to shelter a small group of remaining students in the community by the end of the day.
The college says an arrest warrant has been issued for the student. Authorities are conducting a high-intensity search.
