Officers were advised a call came in from the suicide hotline reporting a juvenile female was contemplating suicide and spoke of having a pistol. In the last week, there have been two similar calls showing the same area where an individual was communicating with a crisis worker on line. Officers involved the IT department and the HBLL security. Nobody was found, and the IT department was unable to locate the area with the located IP address. Today, the IP address shows that it is not a BYU address and was associated with a Google Fiber account. Contact was made with Google Fiber to try and locate more specific details. Officers advised the security supervisor at the HBLL, provided them the
information and asked them to be looking out for anything regarding this incident. The area was checked and nothing was located at this time.
