Campus back to normal after suspected gunman vanishes

UW-Madison operations were back to normal today after fears of a possible deranged gunman Tuesday prompted the closing of several campus buildings and the cancelation of classes and other events in the west campus area.

“At this point, it’s business as usual,” University of Wisconsin Police Sgt. Jason Whitney said today.

The search for 19-year-old Jesse A. Miller, an escapee from the Dane County Jail’s Ferris Huber Center, continued today but police were unsure if he was even in the area.
