Houston, Texas (KTRK) – The shelter-in-place order at Rice University was lifted Monday evening following reports of a potential homicide at Jones College, one of the university’s 11 residential colleges.
The incident began around 5:05 p.m. when Houston police responded to reports of a shooting at 6200 Main St. Rice University quickly took precautionary measures, urging all students, faculty, and staff to shelter in place while Rice University Police Department conducted an investigation.
In a social media post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Rice University confirmed that its police department was investigating the situation and canceled all classes and campus activities for the rest of the day.
The shelter-in-place order has since been lifted, but the investigation into the incident is ongoing.
