A Bismarck State College shooting threat has been placed the North Dakota community college on lockdown. The move happened after the school said it received a credible threat that someone would “shoot up the library with a machine gun.” Immediately after they received the threat, the school took action at 11:25 AM.
Here’s a screenshot of the school’s website where you can clearly read a “Shelter in place” warning.
Update: The Bismarck Police Department have said that it’s not an “active shooter situation” and are currently searching for the person who posted the message.

Police are still searching the campus floor-by-floor to ensure that the threat has been extinguished.
The timing of the message is somewhat interesting, considering that BSC is the place where North Dakota governor candidate Doug Burgum, who just announced his bid, was scheduled to appear today. That appearance has since been moved.
