University of Idaho Cancels Classes After Four Students Found Dead in an Off-Campus House

Posted

The four people found dead Sunday in a home near the University of Idaho campus were students, and the college has canceled classes on Monday to honor them.

In a statement posted to the UI's Facebook page on Sunday night, university President Scott Green said the families of the four students had been notified and Moscow police were continuing to investigate.

Police responded Sunday to a report of an unconscious person at a home in the 1100 block of King Road, just south of the university, and launched what they're calling a homicide investigation. Moscow police have not indicated the manner of death, but have said they do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the community.



The UI today will have counselors available to help students and staff.

"An event of this magnitude can understandably have significant impacts on those left behind," Green said in his statement. "As Vandals, we must come together and lift each other up. If you are worried about a student or employee and are unsure of what to do, please file a VandalCare report."
