University of Maryland: Off-duty military member prompts armed person report at Ritchie Coliseum

A man with a college ROTC program was reported to authorities on campus at the University of Maryland, authorities said on Thursday.

Police said that two students noticed the off-duty military member loading his car with a long gun but he was not considered a threat.

Shortly before 2:30pm, University of Maryland police warned everyone in the area to follow all public safety orders.

"Police are actively searching for the suspect," the email alert read. "Stay alert and follow the direction of police officials."
