SALISBURY, N.C. — Officials at Catawba College in Salisbury say an on-campus threat is over after the school sent out an alert overnight warning of possible armed men on campus.

Salisbury officers told Channel 9 that around 12:45 a.m. four male, who are not students, came onto the campus and got into a fight with some students.

Authorities said no one was injured, and the four men who prompted the alert at the private liberal arts college have been taken into custody.

Officials told students to stay in their rooms because one of them might have a weapon.
