Fresno State authorities are setting the record straight following speculation about a potential on-campus threat Wednesday morning.
In an alert to the campus community, the Fresno State Police Department said it was aware of rumors regarding a possible active shooter on the campus. After investigation, however, it was determined that the claims were unfounded.
“We understand that reports of this nature can cause concern and anxiety, and we want to reassure our campus community that we take all potential threats seriously,” the department said in its statement.
Police responded to reports of a possible on-campus shooter around 10:45 a.m., according to 911 dispatch audio archived on the Citizen app.
In a separate communication, a spokesperson for the Fresno State Police Department told The Bee that no arrests were made in connection to the report.
