Police responded to a report of an active shooter near the Jerome Library on the Bowling Green State University campus early Monday, prompting warnings for students and staff to avoid the area and shelter in place.
The Bowling Green State University Police Department said officers were dispatched to the library area shortly after receiving the report. Authorities have not confirmed whether any shots were fired, and no immediate information was available about a suspect or possible injuries.
Police have set up a perimeter around the central campus area, and access to the library and surrounding buildings is restricted while officers search the scene. The university issued an emergency alert urging members of the campus community to stay away from the area and to follow instructions from law enforcement.
Officials said updates will be provided through the university’s alert system and official social media accounts. Law enforcement urged the public not to share unverified information while the situation remains active.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
