Overview
- Police activity at the University of Illinois Chicago prompted a campus alert and a warning to avoid Student Center East.
- The alert said authorities first reported the activity around 12:40 p.m. on Wednesday and told people on campus to follow officials' instructions.
- Officers were reported on the second-floor walkway between rooms 605 and 606 at 750 S. Halsted St., and officials moved to evacuate the building.
- The university has not disclosed the cause, any injuries, or arrests and described the response as a developing situation with more information to come.
- Student Center East is a central campus hub used by many students and staff, so the response may disrupt classes, services, and foot traffic until officials clear the scene.
