FAYETTEVILLE, AR — After investigating multiple reports, Fayetteville police said there is no evidence of a shooter on campus at the University of Arkansas on Aug. 25.

The school shared this statement when issuing the all-clear.

After investigating multiple reports, police have not confirmed any active threats on campus at this time. Avoid, deny, defend protocols have been lifted at this time while police continue to patrol campus, but please be vigilant. Due to today's events, classes are cancelled for the remainder of day, but will resume Tuesday. Students are free to leave campus at this time if desired. Housing and most dining services remain open. Razorback Transit plans to continue routes.

2 News Oklahoma is following this due to the proximity to Green Country and will keep updating.

In recent weeks there have been an increase in false calls for active shooters, most recently last week at Villanova.
