There is a gunman walking around my son's college campus.

I can't talk with my son; his phone is apparently turned off, which also means he might not know what is going on.

Please pray now.

Update 4:45 PM:

Campus is still on lockdown; no gunman has been found. No shootings have happened. Please pray for everyone's safety and for a quick resolution to this problem.

He is okay...not on campus now. Gunman is still on the loose, but has not shot anyone.

Thanks for your prayers.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! How scary, Nancy. So glad your son isn't there anymore. Did they apprehend the gunman? Praying.

The campus is okay...all open now.

No one has been apprehended.

The news reports lack detail, which leads me to believe that some information is not being released to the public.

I do know from Facebook posts that not all the doors on campus were able to be secured, which makes me nervous. Indianapolis police were on the job, though - many, many squad cars were on campus very quickly, and the buildings were thoroughly searched.

It's just a fluke that my son wasn't there. I'm grateful to his guardian angel for suggesting he go home to work on geography assignments. Otherwise, my son would have been on campus at the time the lockdown began.

Thank you for your prayers, everyone!
