Person with handgun reported near Indiana University

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana University has issued an alert after getting a report of a person with a handgun near its Bloomington campus.

The alert, issued early Friday on the school’s website, calls for those on campus to take shelter in the nearest available room and lock their door if possible. Those on campus are advised to stay in place until police or a campus administrator known to them gives the all clear.

The alert also says those not on campus should stay away.
