Florida Atlantic University sent an announcement on Tuesday at 6:47 p.m., warning of an active threat near Jupiter’s John D. MacArthur campus. The message stated “Run, Hide, Fight,” which is the university’s active shooter procedure.
Another alert went out at 7:09 p.m., giving an “all clear,” stating there were no threats on campus and that police activity did not occur there. At 9:20 p.m., the Jupiter Police Department posted on their Facebook page that officers had arrested a suspect for shots fired in the area of Abacoa Golf Course, which triggered the alerts.
According to WPBF 25 News on May 28, police arrested a man who shot at golfers Tuesday night at Abacoa Golf Club in Jupiter. They said 27-year-old Daniel Anthony Nobile was on the back patio of a home on Barbados Drive, shooting at four men he didn’t know.
The golf course is about a two-minute drive from campus. Jupiter police reported no injuries and said the investigation is ongoing. University officials did not respond in time for publication to comment to the University Press.
