Law enforcement authorities are actively searching for a suspect involved in a shooting incident at Utah Valley University (UVU), with the campus remaining under lockdown Thursday evening. Multiple sources confirm the manhunt continues hours after the initial report.
Three individuals familiar with the investigation told CBS News—the BBC's US media partner—that police have yet to locate the perpetrator. Two additional law enforcement sources indicated the scene remains unsecured, preventing officials from declaring the area safe for public access.
UVU administration issued an emergency statement urging all individuals on campus to "secure in place until police officers can safely escort them off campus." University police units are conducting systematic evacuations, moving "building to building" amid heightened security measures.
No further details regarding the shooting or potential casualties have been released by investigators as the situation remains ongoing. Students and faculty have been advised to monitor official university channels for updates.
