    I live near campus and am hearing some kinda PA announcement from outside.

    If you have a test today, I'd email the prof/TA ASAP and check on the status of the test.

    They're advising people not to come to campus/stay inside, so chances are even if you went to class, the prof isn't gonna be there anyway.

    Dude, this isn't some flash flood warning. It's some mother$#@%er with a gun. STAY INSIDE!

    They just keep running the sirens on campus. Nothing new from my end.

    There's nothing on this on television?

    I'd stay in. Stay away from campus and be tentative for tomorrow.

    The spokesperson for UT just got on Fox news and said stay where you're at and don't head toward campus.. Now will you please stay at home? This ain't a drill man, it's real.

    Thoughts and prayers go out to the UT family. I hope no one got hurt and that this whole "second shooter" thing is just protocol to keep the students safe and away from campus..

    Latest news is that the suspect shot himself but police are looking for a second suspect. No word on whether anyone (other than the suspect) was hurt or killed.

    For the students, stay inside! I wouldn't even worry about a test, there is absolutely no way you'll be responsible for skipping it.

    He/she might be near an area where he/she gets no signal.
