A lockdown at North Carolina A&T State University has been lifted after a search failed to find any sign of a reported gunman.
Campus police chief Glenn Newell issued the "all clear" shortly before 1 p.m. Classes are set to resume at 2 p.m.
Police had received a report of a man with a rifle at 9:57 a.m. in the General Classroom Building, resulting in a security alert to students to "shelter in place." Two public high schools on the campus were also locked down.
