On Thursday, May 31 at approximately 5:30 p.m. The Quad was cleared due to a fake bomb threat in Savery Hall, the building in The Quad closest to Kane Hall. The suspect responsible for the hoax was later arrested by UWPD in front of Rancho Bravo on the corner of 43rd Avenue Northeast and University Way Northeast.
The threat was confirmed by the Seattle Fire Department, which said the area was being evacuated and sealed off until the threat was resolved. The Quad reopened at 6:22 p.m.
The suspect livestreamed the entirety of the incident on Twitch and YouTube Live, with the video later being uploaded to NeatClip under the alias “Arab Andy.”
