SAN JOSE - Police have detained a man in a San Jose State University building after they chased a reported gunman onto campus.

Authorities say they received a report of a man brandishing a gun near campus at around 5:30 p.m. Thursday.

They spotted a man who fled onto campus. Summer school students were told the shelter in place while authorities searched for the man.
