Two male students were detained around midnight last night after the Eugene Police Department received an anonymous tip that two people had guns in the Living Learning Center residence hall.
There is currently no threat to students, though, said EPD spokeswoman Melinda Kletzok. The two males lived in different rooms.
Whether anyone actually possessed firearms in the LLC could not be confirmed before press time.
The tip came in around 10:15 p.m. Monday night, and multiple officers from EPD and the Department of Public Safety responded. Students were not evacuated from the building.
Students living in University residence halls are required to sign a contract stipulating that they will not bring firearms on campus. This restriction includes real weapons, air soft guns, BB guns, ammunition, explosives and dangerous chemicals, and applies to all students at the University through the Student Conduct Code.
