Administrators locked down the University of Rhode Island’s South Kingston campus Thursday morning, after police received reports of a gunman on campus, according to WCVB.com.
The website reports that a post earlier to the university’s website read, “We are investigating reports of a person with a firearm in Chaffee Hall on the Kingston Campus. Secure yourself indoors (not Chaffee), stay there, and do not move about outside until further notice. The emergency alert system has been activated.” However, the university’s website appears to be down as of late Thursday morning.
Rhode Island State Police told the Associated Press that “there is no evidence of an active shooter.”
