Ball State spokeswoman Joan Todd said campus police investigated that report and deemed the campus secure about 90 minutes after a text alert was sent Monday morning to students and staff. Todd said the Muncie campus is returning to normal activities.

She had no information on whether the report about the gunman was valid.
