RALEIGH, N.C. — Students at Wake Tech's main campus off U.S Highway 401 were told to remain indoors Friday afternoon for just under an hour while police investigated the report of a person with a weapon. 

A college spokeswoman said the campus was not officially locked down. Laurie Clowers called the action a "shelter in place."

She said campus police received a tip just after 5 p.m. They gave the all clear about 50 minutes later.
