Officials believe initial reports of a shooting at the University of Oklahoma were caused by sounds of equipment breaking, citing no evidence of gunfire on campus, KFOR-TV reported.
School administrators uploaded a statement on the university's website.
"As of this time, no evidence has been found of any shots being fired. There are no injuries reported at this time. Both the Norman and OU police department have very quickly responded as well as emergency personnel. President Boren is at the scene. Normal campus operations have resumed except for Gould Hall where additional checking is continuing," the statement read.
Police received a call around 11:15 a.m., prompting university officials to alert students via text message of a shooting on campus.
"OU Emergency: Shooting on campus. Avoid Gould Hall. Seek immediate shelter in place," the text said.
The school's Twitter account has continued with updates throughout the investigation.
"We have no new information at this time. Please continue to avoid Gould Hall," the most recent tweet said.
The frightening incident comes one day after a student at Purdue University in Indiana was fatally shot. Additionally, a student at Widener University in Pennsylvania was shot on Monday and listed in critical condition.
Both incidents in Indiana and Pennsylvania were believed to be intentional acts of violence according to local authorities.
