Illinois State University announced Monday that all events in the Bone Student Center scheduled for April 28 are canceled as police continue their search for a suspect in Sunday’s night’s shooting.
One person was shot at the university in Normal on Sunday night. The victim’s status was not immediately clear.
A university-wide emergency alert was first sent out at 7:55 p.m. urging students and staff who were near the Bone Student Center to take precautions.
Shortly after 9:15 p.m., another alert said police were looking for a slender Black man, approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall, who was wearing all black clothing.
He was last seen running south from University Street and College Avenue near the southwest corner of the student center. The building was closed shortly after. No shelter-in-place order was issued for the campus.
The university is asking possible eyewitnesses to contact ISUPolice@ilstu.edu with information.
