An all-clear was given 89 minutes after the University of Oklahoma alerted students and staff of a reported active shooter on campus. In a tweet, the university said campus police issued an “all clear” after a thorough search revealed no threat was found.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Eric Foster told The Oklahoman at 10:45 p.m. that the campus was secure, but said he could not provide any additional comment.

As for official word on injuries, Foster said OU’s police department would be the agency that would brief the media. 

“We just responded as one of the many agencies that ultimately were involved, and we are very happy with how well that worked,” Foster said. Shortly before 11 p.m. the school tweeted that campus police had issued an all clear.

“After a thorough search, no threat was found. There is no threat to campus. Alert has been canceled,” they wrote.
