- Campus Safety Message-GainesvilleUpdate on shot fired report on Sorority Row The University of Florida Police Department would like to provide additional information regarding the UF Alert issued in response to a report of a shot fired on Sorority Row of the Gainesville campus. On Thursday around 11:15 a.m., UFPD received a call from a resident of Sorority Row who reported a shot had been fired through a closed window, striking indoor window shutters. The resident reported the incident had just taken place. As a result, UFPD treated the incident as an immediate threat to campus and issued a UF Alert. Responding officers began searching the area for a potential threat and speaking to potential witnesses who reported they had not heard a shot fired. Additionally, some residents of Sorority Row reported having heard a “pop” sometime between 1:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. on Thursday. After securing the area and conducting an exhaustive search, officers determined there was a time delay between when the incident happened and when the bullet was found by a resident of the building. UFPD is not aware of any injuries to any persons stemming from this incident. Once officers determined there was no ongoing threat to campus, an update was issued stating it was safe to resume normal activities. UFPD would like to thank its partners at the Gainesville Police Department for their assistance and response to this incident. The investigation into this incident is ongoing. Additionally, UFPD has increased patrols in the area in response to this incident. Anyone who believes they may have seen something or heard something is asked to call 352-392-1111. Please do not hesitate to contact law enforcement if you see something suspicious or that seems out of place. If you have information that requires an urgent response, please dial 911.
