The discovery of graffiti that included the words “shooting” and a date in a women’s restroom at Long Beach City College was originally reported on Monday, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
The graffiti was reported by a student to a faculty member who contacted the Long Beach Police Department, Public Information Officer Jennifer De Perez said an email.
The vandalism was described as handwritten graffiti in a stall at a women’s restroom at the Liberal Arts Campus, and indicated a threat of violence.
Lieutenant Omar Martinez declined to comment on what specific women’s stall was vandalized.
It is currently unknown when the graffiti was written.
The Long Beach Police Department has determined the threat to be non-credible but is continuing to investigate, according to the email.
Additional visible police patrol will be deployed around both campuses throughout the week.
According to Martinez, the graffiti has been removed to not create additional concern.
The email was sent at 2:04 p.m. by The Office of the Superintendent-President.
