Around noon local time, the university posted an emergency notice online, saying, "University Police responding to report of shots fire in BEH evacuate to a safe area, RUN-HIDE-FIGHT."
Shortly after, the university said on X that police were responding to "additional report of shots fired in the Student Union," and advised people to evacuate the area.
