The University of St. Thomas issued an all-clear after sending a shelter-in-place order Monday afternoon for the Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses.
In a statement sent out shortly after the order had been lifted at 1:15 p.m., the university clarified that it had received a “message from an individual claiming to be on campus with a firearm, threatening to harm himself.” Authorities determined that the individual was not on campus, according to the statement.
Some students found the warnings sent by Public Safety via text, email and the SafeZone app confusing. The messages were not clear on if the threat was on the St. Paul or Minneapolis campus.
