There's been a shooting on campus, hopefully isn't bad.

Definitely sending prayers out for the students & faculty

We know a lot of kids from here that go there. I bet some parents are freaking out after the alert went out on the OU twitter feed.

 

[GetHooked]

Hate to see that. I hope all is well there now.

They don't even know if there are any victims so that has to be a good sign.

The twitter now says they aren't even sure any shots were fired and normal activity may resume except for Gould Hall.

 

[HookemDTX]

They're saying it was a piece of machinery backfiring now.

Definitely prayers out to OU.

Glad to hear it was nothing serious. Better to act on the side of caution until you know nothing seriously dangerous is taking place.

"Shortly after 12 p.m., Catherine Bishop, with the University of Oklahoma, said in a statement Wednesday, “As of this time, no evidence has been found of any shots being fired. There are no injuries reported at this time. Both the Norman and OU Police Department have very quickly responded as well as emergency personnel. President Boren is at the scene. Norman campus operations have resumed except for Gould Hall where additional checking is continuing.”

President Boren is telling students at Gaylord College they believe the shots fired call was a result of a piece of equipment backfiring."

Man I hate backfires. It'll scare the crap out ya. Glad everyone is okay and it appears to be a false alarm.

I am with you on that one. I remember when I was on my mid tour leave from Iraq in 2005 and went to Lukus' wedding. We were at some park with the family and some old truck backfired. I automatically started looking for cover and almost jumped under a park bench. That stuff is not fun.

Maybe a piece of equipment was not working so "bubba shot the jukebox" and that's where all the noise came from.

Glad I can joke about it. It diminishes us all when these crazy shooters go on a rampage.

So you're saying Young Lukas had a Shotgun Wedding?

Friend of mine teaches at the Gaylord. I reached out to her immediately, but she confirmed it was a backfire. Said things were pretty intense for a little while...
