CHESTERTOWN, Md (WJZ)–Washington College has announced they are closing their campus through Thanksgiving as authorities continue to search for a student believed to be armed.

Police and the FBI intensified their search on Wednesday in search of 19-year-old Jacob Marberger, who was last seen leaving his Eastern Shore home with a possible weapon.

On Monday it was shelter in place, Tuesday the college was closed and today the college has made the decision to cancel classes until after Thanksgiving.

“While classes are canceled until November 30th, students should be alert to email communications from their professors with instructions pertaining to continued progress in their courses,” President Sheila Blair said in a statement.

  1. Mmmmm, witholding judgement right now.Could be a lot of reactionary BS happening. Cant really tell because of all the details, i Have to put them in order....oh wait they arent saying $HIT!!!!!! The media is not being helpful at all and closing the school for even 1 minute is excessive. Is that their only plan? Its 2015 and their big move is to close? Glad you don't have people paying you for any type of service. Just being over charged for a finger painting degree. Glad you planned ahead given all the other stuff happening in the world. I would be piiiiised if I was paying for this.

    And "antique gun" is a term so loose and broad you could sail a boat through it.

  5. I thought the government had all the neat ways of tracking people by phones, license plate readers, credit cards purchases, EZ pass transponders and the like but they can't find a college student between PA and the eastern shore. Lets close every school down because you never know he might decide to shoot up a middle school. I get the feeling that there is more to this story than they are releasing to the public.

  6. I would pull my kid from the school--not because of the academics--but because of this liberal BS--all schools have wacko kids--if they all start closing for these issues-nothing would get done.. what a waste of money--

    Embarassing

  7. This was done for one reason and one reason only: To alleviate any chance of a negligence lawsuit against the college. It's a sign of the times.

  8. Everyone wants this student to be safe. It appears that this has been overblown.

  9. I'm just waiting for this kid to show back up with a handful of turkeys from an unauthorized (by his parents)hunting trip. If this happens I will be rolling in the aisles!
