The Community College of Philadelphia was on lockdown Tuesday following reports of a person with a weapon on campus, police said.
No shots were fired and there were no reports of any injuries, said Tanya Little, a spokeswoman for the Philadelphia Police Department.
“We’re trying to ascertain whether there is someone inside,” she said.
The Community College of Philadelphia, the largest public institution of higher education in Philadelphia, has about 15,000 full-time students.
The lockdown, which began in one building and then extended to the entire campus, comes after a gunman killed nine people and himself in a mass shooting at a community college in Oregon on Thursday.
