University Police are investigating an incident in which a man had a gun inside a Shands at UF parking garage Thursday afternoon.
Police detained one man and were looking for two other people suspected of being connected to the incident.
Just before 2 p.m. Thursday, UPD responded to a call at Garage 10 on the corner of Archer Road and Newell Drive, according to a UPD press release.
Shortly after, UF sent out an alert to students saying there was an armed man in the parking garage. Several messages followed clarifying the scenario and giving a brief description of one person involved.
When police arrived, officers were told that two men and a woman were arguing on the second floor of the garage.
A witness, according to the release, told police that during the argument, one of the men pulled out a handgun.
Officers responded and detained one of the suspects for questioning. The woman and the armed man fled from the scene, said UPD Capt. Jeff Holcomb.
There were no reported injuries, according to a UF alert.
At this point, police are interviewing the man they detained to ask him about the other people involved, Holcomb said.
At about 3:50 p.m., the university sent out an alert saying that officers had cleared the scene.
If you have any information, please contact Capt. Jeff Holcomb at 352-273-3301 or UPD at 352-392-1111.
