PLATTEVILLE, Wis. -- A bullet found on the University of Wisconsin-Platteville campus is being evaluated at a state crime lab, according to the university.
The bullet was found outside Ullsvik Hall after a student reported seeing a man with a gun on campus. The bullet was sent to the state crime lab in Madison for evaluation, according to a press release.
Campus was closed Monday after student David Kalenga told authorities he heard and saw the barrel of an AK-47 in a men's bathroom at Ullsvik Hall. No arrests were made and the campus reopened Tuesday.
Campus police have interviewed about 20 people since Monday's incident, according to the release.

Yike! A bullet! Everybody run to their “safety spaces”!
I would go even farther and posit that the snowflake wouldn’t know the difference between an AK, an AR, and a broomstick.
Exactly. Platteville is a school with hunters in a town with hunters surrounded by woods and farms where they hunt. I would be surprised if at least 30% of Platteville students didn’t hunt. This is Wisconsin. We have guns, bars, cheese and churches. And for some reason we have a lot of broasted chicken.
I heard the barrel of an AK-47 once. It was one of those pump action, fully-automatic assault Glocks, and it made a trumpeting sound.
One often hears the bark of a barrel in the men's bathroom. It's quite hard, though, to determine the model number of its source.
--Mining degrees there ended about 20-25 years ago--
I had a friend who taught some kind of classes at UW-Platteville for a time. He had an apartment in town and I guarantee there were guns and ammo and their traces in his vehicle, and not particularly well-ordered. Heck, he kept a chain saw under the bed in his apartment.
Further validation of the saying about “being educated beyond their intelligence.” Classic examples abound in academia and this sets a new low.
David, when the barrel of an AK-47 is not going "Blam Blam" what does it sound like?
Our local range is getting raped over that exact deal in my opinion. Spent rounds have been salted in a parking lot of a church nearly a mile away, on the other side of a huge hill and at an acute angle off the firing line. It’s closed indefinitely to powder burners until we get a million plus dollars worth of work done now...
blm/bernie/shrillary robot. Fake hate crime story at 6.
A chain saw or a gun is no more or less likely in someones home here than a drill. And there are more people here killed each year by skiing than by hunting. In fact the whole state of Wisconsin for a month can’t compare with a weekend in Chicago for gun violence.
The realities are that Wisconsin people have the ability to follow the rules. They don’t liter either (except in Milwaukee). Go to Green Bay. As soon as you travel outside of Milwaukee you will be surrounded by the cleanest little towns. These people don’t have a lot of money. But they are nice as can be. They fix their own trucks and cars, they mow their own lawns. And do most of the work in their houses. They do drink and hunt and ice fish and watch the packers. But even though they have more guns than people here. They don’t shoot anyone. Unless your for the Bears.
Naaahuh! What kinda sissified gun do you have? Mine goes “Kapow kapow!”
/s
Actually, mine goes “kapow pow pow!” Rather thunderously in fact. I’m particularly proud of it! :0)
I think I will become Johnny Shotgunseed, and just wander around campus dropping a 762 here, a 45 there, and see what grows of it
When my dad was a boy, he lived near the site of an old arsenal. Maybe the creek just wasn’t deep enough for good fish, but he and his friends used to go to the (former) arsenal and try to dig up forgotten, unexploded ordnance.
An Icelandic hall?
You might be on to some cheap fun.
half a dozen decapped 9mm cases dropped on or near a college campus would probably give half the student population the Vapors and send the rest into a Tizzy.
About 20 years ago, our 100,000 sq ft computer warehouse in San Jose had a new roof installed. Sure enough with the first rain of the season, the roof leaked. The maintenance department got on the roof to inspect and found bullet holes and spent bullets that had made the holes. The theory was that probably spent rounds, shot into the air during new years, came down and made holes in the roof. What goes up must come down.
