The University of Kentucky responded to reports of an active shooter on campus, which turned out to be a hoax.
UK Police say they and Lexington Police responded within two minutes to a report near the William T. Young Library around 12:12 p.m. Tuesday. Using the campus camera system, officers quickly determined the report was false.
The university said because the situation was resolved so quickly, no UK Alerts were issued, and community members were not asked to take any action.
The university said police are aware of similar false reports at universities nationwide in recent days and are monitoring the situation closely.
