As the University of South Carolina campus went on lockdown Thursday following reports of a shooting at the School of Public Health, students and teachers took no chances while hoping to avoid the violence.

A photo allegedly captured from inside one of the classrooms shows an "unreal" reality of how people responded"

The Associated Press reported there were no immediate reports of injuries and police do not yet have any suspects.

The school has since confirmed the threat is no longer active, although students are being told to remain indoors.
