COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Hospital officials say eight patients they received from the scene of a reported attack at Ohio State University have non-life-threatening injuries.

The university had warned students in a series of tweets earlier Monday that there was an active shooter on campus and that they should run, hide or fight. About an hour and a half later, the university said a shelter-in-place warning had been lifted and the scene was secure.

It wasn’t immediately clear if a suspect or suspects in the attack were among the people sent to the hospitals.

Ohio State tweeted Monday morning that all classes would be canceled for the rest of the day.
