The university has ordered a campus-wide "shelter in place" and asked people to stay indoors, in addition to updating their followers on social media sites.

Authorities told the station they thought one suspect might have been inside the Madison College building, but cleared the lockdown a short time later.

Police told Fox 6 that while a suspect is still at large, this is not an "active shooter" situation. Police told the station it was an armed robbery attempt.

From the university website:
