MIT: Shooter On Loose; Officer Down

Atlantic Wire ^ | 18 April 2013

[NautiNurse]

MIT issued an emergency alert at 10:48 on Thursday 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." 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. For now, details are scarce, but the suspect is on the loose and considered armed and extremely dangerous.

Bomb threat? At hospitals??? DAFUQ????????

[penelopesire]

Bomb threats to hospitals means the bomber perps have cell members who are trying to help them get away. There are more out there trying to confuse and overtax the cops. They know one perp went to a hospital so call in threats to all hospitals, etc.

The implications are very scary.

officer just said “one still at large”

[informavoracious]

I wouldn’t wanna be the perp or suspected perp of anything in Boston in the mood LEOs are in this week.

[Wiggins]
