No one reported hurt in shots fired near University of Central Arkansas campus

Conway police know of no injuries as a result of a shooting near the University of Central Arkansas campus in Conway on Wednesday.

UCA issued an alert advising students of a “serious” incident and telling them to seek shelter. A short time later, though, UCA canceled the alert and said operations on the campus were back to normal.

Conway police spokesman LaTresha Woodruff said shots were fired at College Park Apartments. When officers got there, they found bullet casings. “At this point there appears no one was hit,” she said.

A UCA police spokesman said police first had thought the shooter might have fled to the campus but said that turned out not be the case.
