Quoting Oklahoma State Highway Patrol Trooper Eric Foster, CNN reported that the campus is now safe and no injuries were reported. University police also issued an "all clear" alert.

"No threat was detected despite a comprehensive search. Campus is not under danger. At 10:53 p.m. CT on Friday," the institution announced on Twitter that the alert had been discontinued.

Earlier on Saturday, an active shooter was reported on campus at the University of Oklahoma in the city of Norman on Saturday (local time), the school informed in a tweet.

"OU-Norman Emergency: There is an active shooter at the Van Vleet Oval. Take immediate action now. Run. Hide. Fight!," read a post on the official Twitter account of Oklahoma University.
