Middle Tennessee State University has issued an “all-clear” notice Tuesday morning, Oct. 28, after a report of an armed robbery Monday evening, Oct. 27, on the university campus.

The following text came from the university’s “Alert Updates” page, located at www.mtsu.edu/alertupdates, which is part of the network of campuswide information sources linked to MTSU’s Rave Mobile Safety emergency notification system.

6:59 A.M., TUESDAY, OCT. 28, 2014, ALL CLEAR: The armed robbery suspects have not been apprehended, but they are not believed to be on campus. Resume normal activity. Please report suspicious activity to MTSU Police at 615-898-2424.

Please report suspicious activity to MTSU Police at 615-898-2424.

The notifications went automatically to all current  MTSU students, faculty and staff via email alerts from the Rave Mobile Safety system. When necessary, the campuswide alerts also include weather-related university scheduling changes, building closures and more.
