HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The "all clear" was issued at the Lone Star College campus at Greenspoint after a report of two armed men opening fire near the school.

In a tweet, the college system told students to "go to (the) nearest room and lock the door."

"This is NOT a Drill," the tweet concluded.

It advised the reported shooting was not on campus.

"We are locking down Greenspoint and ordering shelter in place for your safety," Lone Star's tweet stated.

The "all clear" was given just before 8 p.m.
