MIT issued an emergency alert at 10:48 on Monay night reporting shots fired on the university campus. The school newspaper reports, "Shots fired near 32 Vassar St (Stata Center), police officer down. Please stay inside." For now, details are scarce, but the suspect is on the loose and considered armed and extremely dangerous.
This is a developing story. We'll update you as new information comes in.

#4I find it very interesting, that there are such websites.
I wonder whether it works, but I guess that if only one life is saved by a notice on a website, that is enough

#5Don't wish to make light of this at all, but I do wonder- how often does this happen? After all, "shots fired" is not an uncommon thing in many cities in the US.
I just wonder whether we will look back in 12 months time at the "week of hell" and realise that it was actually just a week in which we found all the things that usually go on every week that we don't hear about.

At this point that most higher-ed websites not only have their emergency website, but also a whole system. A lot of universities send out text messages simultaneously.

On or very close to a college campus in Boston/Cambridge? Fairly uncommon...

I'm hearing a cop was shot.
So this is a bit meatier a problem.
