Casper Police: Building Cleared, No Evidence of Shots Fired

UPDATE: Law enforcement is escorting people back into the building.

Floors one and three of the office building are open.

Floor two, where the call was initiated, is still being held by law enforcement.  The area is still closed to the public.  There is no immediate threat to the public.

Casper police will continue to provide an update to the situation as information becomes clear.

=======================================

UPDATE (11:50 a.m.)

Police say they have cleared the building and have found no evidence of shots having been fired. 

Police have no suspects, and no one was injured. People are being allowed back into the building, according to Lt. Jeremy Tremel. 

First responders are clearing the scene. 

In a phone interview shortly after noon Friday, Tremel told K2 Radio News that responding officers interviewed multiple people who had been inside the building. Those people said they heard loud noises which sounded like gunfire as well as a possible verbal altercation. 

Tremel described their concerns as legitimate, and said police do not believe the report of shots fired was made as a prank.

Police in tactical gear have established a perimeter around an office building located in the 800 Block of Werner Court and have escorted people out of a building.
