East Stroudsburg University went into a shelter-in-place order Wednesday night after State Police received a call around 7:47 p.m. reporting an active shooter on campus, WFMZ/69 News reports. The report triggered an immediate multi-agency response from state and municipal police.

After searching the area, State Police found no signs of an active shooter event and lifted the order, saying there is currently no threat to campus, according to WFMZ. No injuries and no arrests have been reported as of this writing. The investigation remains open, led by Pennsylvania State Police Troop N (Stroudsburg Station) alongside the Monroe County District Attorney's Office.
