A possible shooting was reported at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville on Monday afternoon, prompting a shelter-in-place order that has since been lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UW-Platteville Police Department told local media that reports of an incident were received around 3:45 p.m. local time on Monday, according to WMTV<\/a>. Authorities have not confirmed whether a shooting occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Text alerts sent to students, faculty, and staff urged individuals to shelter in place and avoid the area around Wilgus Hall. At 4:24 p.m., a new alert posted on the university\u2019s website advised: \u201cContinue to shelter in place if you are on campus. If you are not on campus, please avoid campus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A UW-Platteville spokesperson told WKOW<\/a> that the incident occurred in one of the residence halls and that a room-to-room sweep is currently underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 5:03 p.m., an updated alert stated that law enforcement had confirmed there was no active threat to the campus community and that the shelter-in-place order had been lifted. Emergency responders remained at the scene, and students were advised to continue avoiding Wilgus Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witnesses on campus reported hearing gunshots, though this has not been confirmed by officials. No additional details have been released regarding potential victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville is located in the southwestern corner of the state, near the borders of Iowa and Illinois.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
