Man with gun reported at Indianapolis university campus: university

A man with a gun has been reported on the Indiana University-Purdue University campus in Indianapolis, and students are being urged to take shelter, according to the school's website.

Students and faculty were advised in an online alert to take safe shelter and lock the door if possible, remaining in place until an "all clear" is given.

The university described the suspect as a black male, between 6 foot, 3 inches and 6 foot, 4 inches tall (about 1.9 meters), wearing a black hoodie, blue jeans, and a hat with yellow writing, the school said.

No other information was immediately available. The urban public research university has about 30,690 students.
