The University of Rhode Island on Thursday morning reported that a gunman had been spotted on campus as it called on students and faculty to take shelter in their current location as police investigated the situation. Nobody was reported to have been injured, the school said on its official Twitter account. In its Twitter feed, the school said: “Investigating possible gunman on campus. Seek shelter and stay where you are until we update further.” Police told local news affiliates that they did not find a gunman, but added that the person could have fled the area when the campus went silent as police arrived to investigate the claims.
