Dear members,

As most of you might have heard, two Chinese students from University of 
Southern California (USC) were fatally shot near USC campus early in the 
morning on 11th, April. Washington University CSSA Executive Committee 
would like to offer our condolence to the victims' families and we lament 
for the loss of innocent lives. As one member of Chinese communities in 
this country, we urge the local police department to bring the criminals to 
justice as soon as possible.

WashU CSSA committee is always concerned about our members' safety on- and 
off-campus. We strongly advise all of our members to take your personal 
safety extra seriously, and especially to avoid being outside alone at 
night.

For your information, here are some resources and guidelines that you might 
find valuable in case:

http://oisshome.wustl.edu/students/Safety.html. This is the safety & 
security tips from OISS; and

http://police.wustl.edu/whistle.html.  The Police Department of Wash U is 
running a whistle program. Free whistles are being distributed. Please go 
and get one if you need.

As the investigation of this tragedy is still ongoing, we will continue to 
keep our community updated. Let’s pay our respects to the victims. Stay 
safe. WashU CSSA will always back you up.

Have a relaxing weekend.

WashU CSSA Executive Committee
