Dozens of armed police including counter terrorism officers descended on the college after shots were fired at the College Road site, police said.
And now a police chief has praised the staff for putting themselves in harms way to protect others.
Chief Inspector Shane Baker, of the Crawley Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “I’d personally like to thank everyone who helped to quickly bring this incident to a safe conclusion, especially the two members of college staff whose heroics have not gone unnoticed.
