KENOSHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- An active threat made toward the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside has prompted an evacuation and shelter in place order on Sat. Feb. 21.

The UW-Parkside Police Department has confirmed that they are investigating the threat and taking it "very seriously".

The University received the threat shortly after 10:00am, and issued a UWP Ranger alert online, urging people to evacuate or shelter in place:

The Kenosha County Sheriff's Office says they are on scene responding with several other agencies. 

They also say that right now it's just a phone threat, and there is no suspect information at this time. 

The campus is closed today, but according to the University's website, today is Alumni Day at the Games in the sports and activity center, with basketball games that were supposed to be played at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. 

UW-Parkside's Alumni Association has asked people not to head to campus for the games at this time.

And the University has said that out of an abundance of caution; the campus remains closed at this time. And all classes and events scheduled for the afternoon are suspended until further notice.

CBS 58 has a crew at the scene and will provide updates both on-air and online.
