Lambton College Shooting Incident: Campus Closed and Authorities Respond to Early Morning Situation in Sarnia

A troubling and unforeseen event occurred earlier this morning at a Student Administrative Council gathering at Lambton College’s Main Campus in Sarnia, prompting a rapid and coordinated reaction from emergency responders. Authorities, including police and paramedics, arrived quickly and have remained on-site throughout the day to evaluate the situation and conduct an ongoing investigation.

At this moment, few details about the event have been disclosed, as officials continue to gather precise information and focus on ensuring public safety. In light of the situation, Lambton College decided to shut down its Sarnia campus for Friday, April 10, as a safety precaution. All classes, campus activities, and student services for the day have been canceled. College officials have strongly advised students, faculty, staff, and the general public to stay away from the campus while emergency teams and investigators work.

The closure affects not only the Main Campus but also all associated facilities in the Sarnia region, including the Fire School, Skilled Trades Training Centre, EarlyON Child and Family Centre, and Community Employment Services. The Ottawa Campus, however, remains unaffected and fully operational.

Lambton College has reiterated its dedication to ensuring the safety and well-being of its community. College leaders are collaborating closely with the Sarnia Police Service, which is overseeing the investigation. While specifics have yet to be made public, authorities have indicated that further updates will be shared once more details are available.

This event has understandably caused distress within the campus community, leaving many students and staff members feeling anxious and unsettled. To address the emotional impact, Lambton College has made counseling and support services available through its MyLambton platform, encouraging anyone affected to seek help during this challenging time.
