A 90-minute, floor-by-floor search of the Boccardo Business
Complex and adjoining Business Tower turned up no evidence of a
gunman or any other witnesses who had seen one, San Jose State
spokeswoman Patricia Harris said.
Harris said the incident began when a student overheard two
classmates "discussing the possibility of a gunman in the
building" as they left the business complex and immediately
contacted university police.
The rest of the campus in California's Silicon Valley tech hub
remained open during the search, but police formed a perimeter
and were directing cars away from the area.
San Jose State, which bills itself as one of the 300 top
research universities in the nation, serves more than 30,000
undergraduate and graduate students in seven colleges, according
to its website.
