university is celebrating homecoming week so a lot is going on that is planned all week long on campus. you can see the d.c. police are on scene and are telling us just a back but we are getting word that the academic support building has been evacuated. again, police are on the scene responding to the possible active shooter situation. at this point, nothing is confirmed. we are waiting for an update. only get information we will pass that along. for now, back in the studio to you. adrianna: we are seeing on social media that the rest of the campus is on lockdown. are you able to confirm that? been able to get that confirmed but i can tell you that we are seeing cars pass on w street with students walking on the campus. so it doesn't appear to be the case right now. you can see students actively walking through is

a it does not appear to be locked campuswide but there are certain areas that police are focusing on. down here at the corner, they're telling us that this command center, they did get conflicting calls from two different locations of where this may be playing out. so now they are aggressively working to try to figure out where this may be. again, that call came in around 12:00 this afternoon for a report of a possible active shooter situation in the 2400 of the campus of howard university. the d.c. police did get here on the scene. adrianna: it looks like we are having technical difficulties with the audio but as he said, they did get a few calls in from anonymous people saying that there

there on campus as ryan mentioned. it is howard university's homecoming weekend so they have a lot of activities and celebrations going on. out of the abundance of caution, they did evacuate the building's. there are reports that the school is on lockdown but ryan hughes could not tell if that was the case. he did say that students are walking around on campus. have blocked off several streets and they have not been able to confirm that an active shooter is there on campus but they have blocked off several streets as they investigate this. street closures do include 6th street from fairmont street northwest to the college street northwest. that is up to 4th street

student newspaper said they have evacuated due to the alleged threat on campus. as one person explained, they had two different tips with two dozen locations of their trying to narrow down where to look. in order to confirm the report of an alleged active shooter on campus. ryan hughes said there is a major presence on campus. he can still see students walking around. -- can see the campus center they are trying to confirm this report of an active shooter. howard inversely said they got an anonymous tip and they are taking it seriously. have ryanike we do hughes back live. do you hear anything new? >> we are hearing a lot more

potential shooter on campus. investigating but police have not been able to confirm that there is an active shooter. it looks like we have ryan lives back here in the shot. police are making a move? somewhere? >> we did hear sirens blaring. of course, we cannot confirm if they have come across something but they have been on the scene now for a while. and they did say early on that they had no confirmed reports of an active shooter. we are not 100% sure at this point but they are working to confirm this information for you. but talking with a student passing by me a short time ago, she says they weren't really notified properly and they weren't told

active shooter situation. it didn't come out until a long time after when rumors started shooting -- when rumors started going. officials say the call came in a on 6th streetoon northwest. the problem with all of this is that they got conflicting calls. so police are manning both they say that nothing has been confirmed at this point. but they encourage people to take precaution in the area. we are being told that out of an abundance of caution, the building was evacuated. we are not told of any of the injuries -- told of any injuries. i want to send it to sam ford who is live on the scene. he is covering this. what can you tell us?

>> at this vantage point, we are here at how workplace and georgia avenue and police are going to move us back further. the situation as i understand it a call d.c. police got from someone in one of the academic support buildings. they say they have since been searching and they are not able to find any active shooters but they have been back in touch with the person who made the call. so you have a situation here where you have a numbers of police vehicles on the scene. a parade of vehicles just came by. officers here, i'm not sure if they are blocking this off or not. but clearly they are talking to people who go to school here. i haven't actually got any of the howard television spokespeople on the phone at this point but clearly something is going on here. and from the official police word at this

saying they have found nothing. even though they have been in touch with the person who called police and they were looking at a particular academic support building. they say they have found nothing. so we are not closing off the street at this point? >> we want the media to go up the street. >> they are moving us in this particular location. we are here on georgia avenue in block.0 a lot look up this way, of the activity seems to be up there. and it is blocked off as well. i'm reporting live and i am sam ford, back to you. adrianna: we have ryan hughes on the scene in a different location.
