Gun shots were reported at the University of Kentucky campus in Lexington Sunday night.

The university is advising students to avoid the area of the Kirwan-Blanding complex, where the three shots fired, and seek shelter through an emergency notification system email that was delivered at 9:55 p.m.

Students were notified via several official university twitter accounts and the school's website to stay away from south complex area of the campus.

Witnesses say the shots came from a group of males dressed in all black clothing and fled on foot, according to an official update from UK....
