Shots fired on campus in the tailgating area. Please seek a safe place for the remainder of the evening. There is currently no active shooter on the campus.
Verbatim language from the ASU Public Safety notification, confirmed in WSFA, WAKA, and Campus Safety Magazine reporting
The 'no active shooter' clarification was unusually direct — most universities frame the absence of an active shooter only after-the-fact in news statements, not in the original alert
The alert was issued after campus officers confirmed shots had been fired into the air during homecoming tailgating festivities
