SHERMAN COUNTY — On Tuesday afternoon Northwest Tech administration in Goodland received a call that there was an individual on campus, in a facility, with a weapon, according to the school’s social media page.

Administration immediately contacted law enforcement and alerted campus.

Local law enforcement responded quickly to the scene and cleared the building and quickly established that it was a false report and there was in fact no weapon, no individual carrying a weapon on campus, and students were never at risk.

School administration expressed the appreciation for the rapid response of  local law enforcement “sadly in today’s society, we can never be too safe, nor will we take any chances with the lives of our students, faculty or staff.”
