The University lifted notice of an active threat on its Chicago campus Monday afternoon after police arrested a suspect from an attempted traffic stop related to a carjacking.

The suspect initially fled from an interaction with Chicago Police Department at about 1:15 p.m. near Lake Shore Drive and Chicago Avenue and entered the Morton Medical Research Building. Police arrested the suspect in the basement of the Ward Building at around 2:20 p.m.

The University sent the campus community instructions to take proper shelter and lock or barricade doors. In a second text and email alert sent about 20 minutes later, the University lifted its shelter-in-place instruction. 

This is a developing story and will be updated as more details are available.
