NARRATIVE: At approximately 0930 February 17, 2009, the Spokane Fire Department's Special Investigation Unit (SIU) received a telephone call from Gonzaga Security regarding a Molotov cocktail device that had been found by a custodian in the parking lot of Catherine-Monica Hall on campus. The device had been secured by GU and taken as evidence.
The subsequent investigation and a tip led to the discovery of similar prohibitive items inside the dorm room of Timothy D. Parker, 18-year-old former GU Student. Throughout the stages of the investigation, the SIU officers secured several items as evidence including stolen firearms and ammunition from an off-campus location. (*Media please clarify that weapons recovered were NOT on the Gonzaga campus).
From what the investigators have determined thus far, it appears that at no time were other students and/or staff in danger from the situation. Gonzaga Administration has taken proactive, deliberate steps to assure the safety of everyone and we are extremely appreciative of their cooperation.
This has been a very dynamic case and is ongoing. The SPD, SFD and Gonzaga Security Staff are working together to complete the investigation. We will most likely be announcing additional criminal charges in this case and the investigation persists.
I do apologize for the brevity of the release and amount of information available at this point; however we will do our best to keep you up to date as information becomes available.
PROBABLE CAUSE: N/A
