Students, faculty and staff at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul have been told to shelter in place in their buildings following reports of an armed man on campus.
The shelter-in-place order was issued from the university’s public safety office just before 12:30 p.m. St. Paul police have been called in and officers could be seen on campus running with assault rifles in hand.
“SHELTER IN PLACE — BOTH campuses,” reads the text alert, issued at 12:27 p.m. “Report of possible man with firearm. Remain inside your building. More information to follow.”
A person answering the phone at the university’s public safety office at 12:45 p.m. said they had no further details to share except to say the shelter-in-place order was ongoing.
Students, faculty and staff have locked classroom doors and remain inside buildings.
