| [FoxNews] Students and staff told to evacuate or barricade as police investigated incident at Columbia campus The University of South Carolina issued an "all clear" after the school warned of reports of an active shooter on campus Sunday evening. Campus officials added there was no ongoing emergency. Earlier in the evening, the school ordered students and staff on its Columbia campus to shelter in place, saying an active shooter had been reported near the Thomas Cooper Library. The school said the library would remain closed, despite the fact that no shooting took place. An alert went out just after 6:30 p.m. ET, warning people to avoid the area and to evacuate or barricade if necessary. Officials later said there was no evidence of an active shooter. "Police are searching affected buildings," officials said on the alert system. Video circulated online of a person walking toward a campus building while carrying a black object which some said appeared to be a long rifle. Scott Prill, the Deputy Chief of Police for the University of South Carolina, dispelled the rumor, saying the person was carrying an umbrella. The all clear was given after 8 p.m. on Sunday. |
