During a routine property check of Peck Hall, one of Syracuse University’s Community Services Officers discovered what appeared to be a stray bullet lodged in a wall on the third floor. Peck Hall is located at 601 East Genesee Street and houses Falk College’s Department of Marriage and Family Therapy, the Department’s Couple and Family Therapy Center and the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse.
Unfortunately, at this time, there is no way of knowing when or how this bullet made its way into the Peck Hall wall. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Syracuse Police Department (SPD) are working together to investigate this matter.
