*UPDATE* According to UPD, the video was filmed by comedian Amos Brazan who was touring the campus while in Oxford for his upcoming show Thursday at The Lyric. During the Facebook Live filming, a man walked up behind Brazen and brandished a firearm.

According to Ray Hawkins with UPD, investigators believe they have identified the man who pulled out the firearm but have not yet made contact with him as of noon today (Wednesday).

No arrests have been made; however, Hawkins said the man could face a charge of brandishing a weapon on a college campus.
