The University of Missouri says campus is all clear after what they called an “active threat” Wednesday morning.
At around 11:30, the university’s alert system reported an ‘active threat’ near Hitt and Locust Streets. Updates describe a woman walking with a handgun headed east on Locust Street. The updates suggest the woman may have been suicidal.
The subject was located off campus by law enforcement and campus alerts have been lifted.
She was not in possession of a firearm when she was taken into custody, then transported to a hospital for evaluation, according to a news release from the Columbia Police Department.
Officers located a firearm that they believe the subject had and had discarded it at that location, the release states.
The release states there was no indication that the subject had intentions of harming anyone else.
