UPDATE

Five people have been taken into custody, but not arrested after two separate fights at Western Kentucky University's South Campus and at Pearce Ford Tower on WKU's Main Campus.

The South Campus building on Nashville Road was evacuated earlier in the day following reports that one or more persons were observed in the building with weapons.

Following this, WKU PD received an unconfirmed report of shots fired in the vicinity of Pearce Ford Tower on the WKU main campus.

WKU officials say no weapons were found and no shots were fired.

Police have confirmed that there was a physical altercation not involving weapons between individuals that occurred in or near PFT, but the police are interviewing witnesses on the scene to determine if weapons were or are present, or if shots were fired.

Around 3:15pm the university's emergency alert system announced the "all-clear" signal.

We will provide additional information as it becomes available.
