UPDATE:
Officials at UVa Wise are now saying that initial reports of a gunman on campus were a hoax.
In a statement, officials say a student reported seeing a man with a gun near a residence hall around 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday. University officials then issued a campus alert and did a building-by-building search. No gunman was found.
When police interviewed the student later, the student admitted that the initial report was a hoax.
University officials declared the "all clear" on campus at about 10:45 p.m.
