MIT Says There's a Shooter on the Loose and an Officer Down on Campus
Reuters
Updated 11:21 p.m.: MIT issued an emergency alert at 10:48 on Thursday night reporting shots fired on the university campus. MIT's school newspaper, The Tech, reports, "Shots fired near 32 Vassar St (Stata Center), police officer down. Please stay inside." That report is backed up by CBS News's Bonney Kapp who reports hearing "officer down" on the police scanner just before the MIT alert went out. The Tech followed up a few minutes later,
reporting that the injured officer was from MIT Police and was being
taken to Mass. General Hospital. For now, details are scarce, but the
suspect is on the loose and considered armed and extremely dangerous.
Police are on the scene and searching for the suspect, while the university's ordered all students and staff to remain indoors.
