Former OU student Cassie Peters noted that sometimes she and her husband will still go over to the campus library to study or work. She noted that it's "often late at night," and that it's so quiet that she often can't hear anything.
"We don't have to live this way," she tweeted.
Carolynn Felling, with OU Nightly, the campus news station, said that thus far there are reports of an injury.
