WINGATE, N.C. — A lockdown at Wingate University has been lifted, but students may still see extra police patrols on campus Tuesday morning.
The campus was placed on a lockdown just before 11 p.m. Monday after a student reported seeing a man with a gun.
A spokesperson for the university says two men who weren’t students came to one of the residence halls wanting to start a fight with a student.
No shots were fired, and those men later left the area.
The Wingate Police Department said the lockdown was lifted around 12:45 a.m.
