Shots Reportedly Fired on WKU's Campus

Breaking news at this hour.

Western Kentucky University is under lock-down after the threat of a gunman on school grounds.

Kentucky State Police, Bowling Green Police, and WKU Police have evacuated South Campus.

Bowling Green Police have confirmed reports of shots fired on WKU's main campus at Pearce Ford Tower.

Whether or not shots were actually fired is still unconfirmed.

Western Kentucky University officials sent out a text alert saying armed men have been reported at WKU's South Campus.

We want to assure you authorities are taking steps to ensure the safety of the students on Western's South Campus.

Extra law enforcement, including the Critical Response Team, is on standby.

WBKO does have two crews on the scene.

We'll have more information as soon as it becomes available.

This is about 4 miles from my home...I have loved ones on campus and a nephew that is, thankfully, at home today.

Prayers up.

I suppose according to the dems that the shooter cannot be called anti-American.

I just listened to a mp3 interview with one of the students. She stated that there were 30 African American men fighting on the campus and then broke up when police arived. Here is the link to hear it if you want. http://www.wlky.com/cnn-news/17780051/detail.html

How can that be? I thought all College Campuses were gun free zones? You must be hearing things. (Sarcasm alert)
