GREELEY, Colo. — No one was injured in a shooting near the University of Northern Colorado campus that prompted a shelter-in-place alert Wednesday afternoon, the university said.
The shelter-in-place alert was issued at 4:40 p.m. for the area around Kepner Hall, which is a building within the College of Business.
Police said the shooting happened in the 1700-block of Eighth Avenue. UNC campus buildings, including Kepner Hall, are on one side of that street, and the other side is residential.
Police said their investigation found two groups of people on opposite sides of Eighth Avenue got into an argument, and it escalated into people from both groups exchanging gunfire across Eighth Avenue.
Just after 5 p.m., campus police were clearing several buildings near Kepner, including a building in the college of arts and an administrative building.
The university sent an updated alert around 5:16 p.m. saying the previously issued emergency alert was no longer in effect.
The university's spring semester is over, but some students are on campus for summer programs.
