Active Shooter Mistakenly Reported At Eastern New Mexico University After 'Accidental Button Push'

An active shooter alert was sent out Wednesday morning by Eastern New Mexico University, but the school later corrected that the tweet was the result of an "accidental button push."

The school has since deleted its initial tweet. Here is a screen cap of what the tweet said:

The erroneous report came just two days after Monday's attack on the campus of Ohio State University, in which a student drove a car into a crowd of students then got out of the car and slashed people with a butcher knife before being shot dead.

A similar tweet by Ohio State was sent warning students of an active shooter, though the assailant never fired a shot.
