As of 5 P.M., the “all-clear” has been given.
LSU PD investigated the report of an armed subject at Coates Hall, and has determined there was no threat.
LSU is returning to normal operations.
It is possible that a plain-clothed officer was walking around the building with his gun around his waist, on his belt, and that may have been where the report originated.
