There is no evidence of an active shooter at the University of South Carolina , after multiple alerts about a shooter in the school's main library were sent out earlier Sunday evening.

“We received an unconfirmed report of an active shooter at the Thomas Cooper library,” a university spokesperson told a CNN affiliate. “At this point, we have no injuries, and we have no confirmation that there actually was a shooter at the library.”

An all-clear was also issued from the university just after 8 p.m.

"There is no ongoing emergency at this time; you no longer need to shelter in place," the alert said .

Classes for students at the university began last Tuesday.
