“University of Oklahoma told students to shelter in place after a reported shooting on campus but the University says the report may have been a false alarm.

According to the University of Oklahoma, a shooting was reported at Gould Hall on campus. Students were urged to shelter in place.

Norman Police says OUPD requested their assistance to investigate the shooting around 11:15 AM Wednesday.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol and Cleveland County Sheriff Deputies are also on scene investigating.

At 12:05, the University issued a series of tweets that said ‘no evidence has been found of any shots being fired’ and ‘there are no injuries reported. OU also said normal campus operations have resumed except at Gould Hall where additional checking is being done.

University President David Boren is on scene and says both the Norman and the OU police department responded very quickly.”

This being a school of architecture, it could be anything from a sleep deprived shooter to a practical joke with a spud gun.

Now they can spring up in seconds.

Heard on our local Tulsa radio station that there was no shooting...just a loud noise from a nearby construction site.

Oklahoma is not the smartest place for a shooter to go on a spree. Very nice carry laws there.

I’m sure that the University is a “Gun Free Zone” tho.
