All clear at San Jose City College

Texted and telephoned reports of a possible gunman at San Jose City College prompted police to launch a building-by-building search Tuesday, but after nearly three hours authorities called off the hunt and said they had no confirmation the threat was real.

The school put a shelter-in-place order into effect after receiving "reports of a man with a gun" at about 4:30 p.m., said campus security Officer Pete Luna.

A SWAT team from the San Jose Police Department and campus officers focused on the east end of campus, then searched the technology building. No guns or suspects were found, officials said.

"The police got a text message from someone who said they saw a gunman, and we locked down the entire campus as a precaution," said Elaine Burns, vice president of student affairs.

The text indicated the gunman was near the technology building, Burns said.

Investigators had not eliminated the possibility that the warnings were a hoax.

At 8 p.m., campus President Barbara Kavalier announced the search was over and students were free to move about. Rampages such as last week's Connecticut shooting tend to inspire threats and hoaxes, but Kavalier said her campus is always ready for emergencies regardless of events.

"We've done pretty extensive training at the campus," she said.

The college has about 10,000 students.
