Fellow Bears, I am emailing to let you know about an individual who is not affiliated with our university but has recently been on campus and is someone I believe to be dangerous. Ephraim Debisa (aka Debisa Ephraim), pictured below, has had several interactions with the University of Northern Colorado Police Department (UNC PD) over the past few years, and his recent behavior has given us cause for concern. On Sept. 23, Debisa was seen in the Arlington Apartments, and he was in possession of a firearm. UNC PD responded immediately, but upon arrival, Debisa was no longer in the building. While no one was threatened or harmed during this incident, the UNC PD is actively looking for Debisa. Due to past safety-related incidents, Debisa has been banned from campus. While he may appear friendly, his presence on campus is against the law. We advise anyone who sees Debisa to not approach or engage with him and instead call UNC PD immediately at 970-351-2245, or 911 in the event of an emergency
Verbatim UNC campus email text confirmed via CBS Colorado's article which quoted the email in full; this is an email from UNC leadership (likely the president or UNC Police) to the campus community
Channel corrected from push-notification to email based on the 'I am emailing' phrasing and CBS Colorado reporting
The email describes the firearm as 'a firearm' rather than 'an AR-15-style rifle' as described in some media reporting; the firearm type was based on video footage analysis by law enforcement
