Toms River: Ocean County College- We’re getting numerous reports about a heavy police presence around the Gateway Building on campus. We aren’t going to speculate on rumors, but our tip line has seen 4 separate messages regarding the activity. As of this writing there has been no alert, and all is operating normally. This photo was taken around 09:00 this day.
As always, encryption ruins our journalistic skills. Both TRPD and OCC Security use full encryption, which leaves the media in the dark.

Business as usual at Gateway Building

Amanda Goldfarb does your child go there? (Wondering If our kids are in same class)
Ashley Ann he does!
Amanda Goldfarb I sent u a pm ?
Leaving now to drive my son to classes hope all is well
Classes at main campus are running as scheduled as I type this.
It shouldn’t be up to the people to come to a conclusion about what happened, the school or police should’ve made an official statement. Appalled by the unprofessionalism. In this day and age this is serious and people need to know what’s going on.
I heard a student is wearing a weighted workout vest and someone thought it was a bulletproof proof vest so they called the police. ??♀️ But that is just what I heard… not fact. I hope this is the case tho and no is injured! ??
Lisa Ehlers Jesse exactly sad someone finds this comical
Better to be safe than sorry ….I say ! Especially when you have a student there !!
That’s exactly what happened. It was my friend. He was just walking with it, didn’t even mention MMA or the vest at all, people just understandably freaked.
I saw 2 police cars arrive there around 8am in lot 1
Emma Gibson you good???
yep. whatever has or going on there, I don’t have class in that building today.
Did u have class? Rumor has it that there was no power
We’ve sent an email to TRPD media spokesperson Jill.

My kid informed me someone got arrested. It’s over now.
Edith Klein false
Lets wait till we get a official word from news or police. Or let the rumors begin!
I was dropping my daughter off as they rushed in at 7:45. I drove to security and asked if it was safe. I was told it was and it was a “misunderstanding” at one of the buildings. As i exited i saw heavy police pressence at the Gateway, but they were also letting students in unchecked.
I saw it this morning around 7:45 until 8:15. More cops arrived shortly after this photo
As of 12:00 Noon TRPD has not responded to our media inquiries.
I know what happened
False alarm
EVERYONE IT WAS ME
There was an event with the Ocean County Prosecutors office and Toms River police department
Carolann Costagliola If this is the case You would think they would warn students that there will be police around for event ! Very Scary these days with something like this especially for students !
Carolann Costagliola

This wasnt some planned event
false alarm about someone having a hand gun

Ocean County Scanner News I wish I could do an interview. I never said it was an mma vest of any type lol
Kareem Cole
That’s the press release from TRPD.
Ocean County Scanner News I know. It would just be kool too have put my own words out. They were all good guys though
Shout put too TRPD
Ocean County Scanner News Too bad students and their parents were freaking out w/ absolutely no info for 6 hrs w/ no word. No info. Is def worse than knowing what was going on for many- a statement should have been made as soon as situation was concluded
