Utica College in upstate New York is on lockdown "due to a real, credible threat," the school said, adding that there are no confirmed shots fired and no reported injuries.

There is also no suspect in custody, the school said.

Everyone on campus is asked to shelter in place, the school said, adding that "law enforcement continues to investigate [the] threat."

According to ABC affiliate WUTR-TV in Utica, the lockdown was initiated after two phone calls were made threatening "to take some sort of action" at the school's Gordon Science Center.

2. Given we have more guns than people, that we are allowed to own weapons of mass

3. Lots of copycats out there. Maybe just idiots looking for attention,

or maybe dangerous people, but you don't know until it's investigated.

5. An attack on Science, perhaps? n/t
