Police are trying to catch a murder suspect in the woods by the UWF campus.

The entire UWF campus is on lock down until further notice. Students are told not to leave their classrooms. All buildings are being locked, and vehicles searched as they leave campus. All night classes have been canceled.

The suspect, Bruce Day, 42, is at large after police tried to serve him an arrest warrant for an alleged murder in Nokomis, Ala., in 2001. Day was working at the Gulf Power Crist Plant near campus today when he escaped police.

Police and U.S. Marshalls are employing the use of K-9 units, helicopters, and a boat to find Day. He is described as a white male, 5’8″, 160 lbs., wearing a dark green shirt and blue jeans. If spotted, do not approach him, but call 911.
