BIG RAPIDS, Mich. — Ferris State University officials say there is no evidence of a shooting on campus over the weekend.
On Saturday, officers with the university's Department of Public Safety responded to a gathering at an apartment on campus to address a large gathering of people. While at the scene, an officer heard a sound that could have been a weapon firing, according to university spokesperson Dave Murray.
Campus police conducted an investigation and found no evidence that a weapon had been fired at the scene.
"Out of an abundance of caution, the university sent a message to students about the incident and asking them to share any information," said Murray.
Murray said the safety of students and faculty is the university's "top priority."
