Around 3:40 pm on Thursday, a report of a shooting at the Putnam County Courthouse came into the 911 call center and the Greencastle Police Department was quick to respond.

DePauw issued a RAVE alert to notice to faculty, staff, and students announcing a suspicious person near or around the Putnam County Courthouse.  Faculty, staff, and students were advised to avoid the area.

Armed officers searched the area, and then a report was made about the 1000 block of Shadowlawn Avenue. Shortly after, an officer stated a male suspect was in custody.

Reports now suggest there was no gunfire, but rocks had been thrown. A window on the north side of the building has been busted. However, no other details are known as the investigation is ongoing.
