Student Project Sparks ASU-Jonesboro Active Shooter Alert

AState Carl R. Reng Center Student Union

Normal operations at Arkansas State University Jonesboro have resumed after officials placed the campus on lock down.

An emergency alert was sent out Sunday afternoon in response to a call of armed intruders at the Carl R. Reng Student Union.  Local law enforcement and university police investigated the incident and found it was students working on a video project for a class. 

No arrests were made and no injuries were reported in the incident. 

The lock-down protocol was last activated in December 2015 after a gunman drove on to the student union lawn.  That incident ended peacefully with no injuries.
