Update: Just spoke with UAPD. No further information at this time, and there's been no confirmation that there was a shooting — they're looking into the report.
We'll keep things updated as we hear about them.
Update: Scanner reports say that there is "no indication that UMC is in any danger."
Interesting development. UA campus is on lockdown cause there's a man w/ a rifle on campus. We just got locked in the Rec Room till its over
