Reports of an active shooter on the campus of the University of Michigan appear unfounded, according to a statement released from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's office.

The University of Michigan Division of Public Safety & Security (DPSS) officially cleared the campus at about 7:50 p.m.

The update follows an emergency alert sent just before 5 p.m. from DPSS to "run hide fight" because of reports of an active shooter at Mason Hall on its Ann Arbor campus.
