Congratulations on making it through Week 7 collegiettes. We understand if you slacked on reading the paper and watching the news. Have no fear, HCCP is here with the headlines from this week and your weekend weather update.
GUN ON CAMPUS:
University Police are investigating after finding a gun in tower four of Sierra Madre on Tuesday.
UPD responded to an anonymous tip that a student was in possession of a rifle. They confiscated an unloaded 22-caliber rifle and several rounds of ammunition.
Police say the student owned the gun legally and they do not think he planned to use it.
Sierra Madre residents called the ordeal a misunderstanding.
“When I heard about it I was pretty shocked because I know him really well,” Forrest Baker, a Sierra Madre tower four resident said. “He’s a totally normal guy, he’s super nice.”
It is illegal to have a gun on campus. The district attorney’s office is reviewing the case and will decide if any charges will be brought against the student.
CAL POLY TEAMS UP WITH CA STRAWBERRY COMMISSION:
Cal Poly top students and California’s top crop are teaming up in a new partnership.
