Yep, Gun Free Zones are working.
Shooter on loose. Report if an LEO down.
Glad I searched before posting.
Shooter was reported almost 45 minutes ago and only the one officer down report, so where did he go?
Exactly what the hell is going on?
The media has turned into a fucking circus.
One source:
BREAKING NEWS: Gunshots were reported Thursday night near a building on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., according to a posting on the university’s website.
The incident was reported near the Ray and Maria Stata Center, also known as Building 32. The area is cordoned off and surrounded by responding law enforcement agencies, according to the posting.
The university described the situation as “active and extremely dangerous” and said an investigation is underway. Officials are advising people on campus to stay away from the area.

[i]Authorities say a report of a gunman on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus was a hoax, and that there is no threat to public safety — reported the AP.
Cambridge police said that officers searched Saturday for a man reported to be carrying a long rifle and wearing body armor at the MIT campus. However, they found nothing (a spokeswoman for the university says the school also called off a campus-wide lockdown).
Though it’s not clear what led school authorities to call the lockdown, the Associated Press says MIT’s 11,000 “are famous for their smarts as well as their stunts.”[/i] (http://www.policymic.com/articles/27328/mit-shooting-hoax-massachusetts-institute-of-technology-campus-gunman-no-real-threat)
ETA: Second source above is apparently sourcing material from AP report dated back in February and is being retracted. Multiple agencies now reporting an officer has been shot and has been transported to Mass General.
A CBS new reporter tweeted that she heard “officer down” on the police radio. Another source says he has “life-threatening” injuries.
Godspeed brother!
Yes, and I also heard montanadave’s info.
Can someone tell me exactly what’s going on?
CNN is reporting that the officer has died. 
Other sources stating robber from off campus ended up on campus. Officer shot.
Oh no. I have heard so much from so many sources…
I hope this is also wrong…
Shot today or back in February?
Also, why didn’t the robber obey the signs and leave his gun off campus?
Man give it a minute…
I’ve heard reports that the suspect disarmed the LEO in order to acquire the gun. Uncorroborated, unconfirmed, and subject to change like most early information / rumors.
Well FUCK!
CNN has posted on their website that a MIT campus police officer has been shot and killed.
However, given the accuracy of the various news agencies in recent days, I don’t know what to believe.
If reports are true, thoughts and prayers are with the fallen.
Where did you get this?
Man, prayers out.
I have people up there on campus and can’t get in touch.
Same – that’s where I’m getting my info. Will post if I hear anything else first hand.
Finally. All good. Aocake hope the same for you.
These drunks are useless. Any one have any thing that might be true.
This sounds bad.
Caught a bit on the radio right now about middle eastern men, explosives, the whole nine happening in Watertown.
ETA- I’m listening to streaming scanner feed now.
