The Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, went on lockdown Friday night and early Saturday morning while local law enforcement swept the campus in search of a reported active shooter situation which turned out to be a false alarm. After several hours, the school administration tweeted the good news:
This comes just a few days after racial slurs were found on five black cadets' doors at the Academy's Preparatory School. In a widely shared speech at an all-school assembly Thursday, Superintendent Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria told cadets they "should be outraged not only as an airman, but as a human being."
