NYU Clery Campus Notice Aggravated Assault / Weapons Law Violation On Saturday, July 26 at 1:31 am, the NYU Department of Campus Safety received a report from NYPD of a shooting that occurred at approximately 12:49 am outside 530 LaGuardia Place in Manhattan. The two suspects involved fled the scene going north on LaGuardia Place, before turning west on West 3rd Street and continuing west past Sixth Avenue.  The victim, a non-NYU affiliate, was transported to a hospital due to injuries. The NYPD is investigating this matter. The first suspect is masculine presenting with a dark complexion and was wearing a white t-shirt, red shorts, white sneakers, and a black bandana on their head. The second suspect is masculine presenting with a medium complexion and wearing a black t-shirt, black, pants, black sneakers, and a black bandana on their head. If you have any additional information about this incident, please contact the NYPD at 1(800) 577-TIPS and NYU Campus Safety at (212) 998-2222. Please Remember These Safety Tips: Be aware of your surroundings, especially when walking alone. Walk in groups whenever you can. There is always safety in numbers. Using a smartphone or other electronic devices, especially with earbuds, can be distracting and may make you a vulnerable target for an assailant.  Trust your instincts. If you feel that you may be in danger, seek out others -- a store, or an open NYU facility that has Campus Safety Officers posted. If you are the victim of a crime, do not engage with the assailant as that may put you in further danger.  Report suspicious behavior to Campus Public Safety without delay. If you are the victim of - or witness to - a crime, call 911 immediately and then report the incident to the Department of Campus Safety at (212) 998-2222. NYU Students can call the Wellness Exchange at (212) 443-9999, 24/7, for confidential medical and counseling support. NYU Faculty, Administrators, and Staff can call the Employee Assistance Program powered by Optum at (888) 980-8740, 24/7, for confidential counseling support.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
