Shooter scare at University of Oklahoma may have been prompted by ‘bogus’ call, police say
Students were told to shelter in place and the report of possible shots fired prompted a massive police response in Norman. An all-clear was later given.
Police descended on the University of Oklahoma on Friday night after a report of an active shooter and later found no sign of a shooting and no injuries, officials said.
“At this point, we’ll probably say that it was a bogus call,” University of Oklahoma Police Chief Nate Tarver told reporters.

Around 9:24 p.m, a call came in that reported shots fired at the library on campus at the university in Norman, near Oklahoma City, Tarver said. The university then sent an emergency alert.
