The college said the individual was not a San Jacinto College student, was taken into custody, and that there was no threat to the campus or the college community. San Jacinto College communicates such incidents through its [AlertMe mass-notification system](https://www.sanjac.edu/student-life/campus-safety/emergencies/index.php), which sends email, voice, text, app push notifications, and desktop messages. The incident is a contrast with the college's 2021 Central Campus scare, here the armed person was detected and detained quickly, keeping the response narrowly scoped rather than escalating into a campus-wide lockdown.
