MURFREESBORO—A suspicious, early-morning email message to police at Middle Tennessee State University stated that the sender overheard that someone was going to bring a gun to campus and “do something to the teacher in PH,” which may allude to Peck Hall on the Murfreesboro campus.
MTSU police immediately went to the site to investigate.
At this time, no campus buildings have officially been evacuated, although some individuals and classes chose to leave Peck Hall and other buildings.
No official report of a gun sighting on campus or of a person carrying a gun on campus has been reported to the police.
Professors and students have been asked to return to their normal schedule and to remain watchful and vigilant throughout the day.
Additional updates will be posted on the university Web site by going to www.mtsu.edu or by calling 615-898-2000.
