MORRISVILLE - “Following the recent shooting on the SUNY Morrisville campus, we were in touch  with SUNY Chancellor King, College President Rogers and state and campus police.

We appreciate the extraordinary efforts of college officials, law enforcement, volunteer firefighters and emergency personnel from around the region who responded to and are investigating this incident, and we look forward to a resolution in this case.

Given the fluid and tense situation right after the shooting occurred, we chose to not immediately visit the campus so that we would not interfere with the ongoing investigation and to allow police to do their work.

On Wednesday, Nov. 5, we visited the campus, where we had the opportunity to meet  with  President Rogers,  state and campus police  leadership  and he president of the  Student Government Organization. 

This meeting was an important opportunity to receive updates on this  case and to  further  discuss ways that we and the  state can assist the college at this time and in the future.

As a result of this meeting, we will consider new technology, resources and policies that will hopefully prevent future incidents and pursue initiatives that will keep students, faculty and staff safe locally and at SUNY campuses across the state.

We also recognize the valuable role that SUNY Morrisville plays in the community and will work to ensure that residents also feel safe and comfortable with the presence of the college and its students.”
