ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Washington College in Maryland says it will be closed through the US Thanksgiving holiday while authorities continue looking for a troubled missing student who could be armed.
Sheila Bair, the college president, made the announcement Wednesday. Local and federal authorities are still searching for 19-year-old Jacob Marberger.
The school on Maryland’s Eastern Shore first canceled classes Monday, after Marberger’s parents called the college to say he had returned home to Pennsylvania. They believe he may have taken a firearm.

College officials initially planned to reopen Tuesday but decided to close until further notice and evacuate students after receiving new information from law enforcement.
Marberger is wanted on four charges related to him showing an antique gun at his fraternity house last month while intoxicated.
