Eastern Kentucky University officials issued two alerts Sunday morning, advising people on or near the campus in Richmond to “shelter in place.”
The first of the alerts at 12:21 am referred to an area that was the subject of a similar alert last week, Wellington Court at Summit St. near the Madison County Middle School.
Richmond Police responded to a report of “shots fired” but found no active threat.
A second alert was issued later at 9:13 am. When issuing the “all clear” a little more than a half hour later, EKU Safety officials said Richmond Police were following up on a report of an “armed suspect” near the city’s Irvine McDowell Park.
WEKU News is following up on these incidents.
