A citizen called the police dispatch center and reported that his wife was in a classroom at HACC and she sent him a text that a black male was threatening the class with a weapon in what seemed to be a domestic issue. As officers responded information developed and it was reported that the man made indications of having a handgun and he forced a woman from the classroom and took her out of the building. Officers learned that the man was Julian Amway and the woman was his girlfriend.

. Our officers and HACC Security shut down the campus and searched the grounds. Vehicles leaving the grounds were searched.
