Sounds like a one off shooting. They have the weapon, and the shot officer is at the hospital. The shooter got away.

Just saw a photo of the scene. Looks like it's out right near the Stata entrance at Main & Vassar.

I had just left this part of campus a few minutes before it happened. I need this week to end.

I live a couple blocks from there. I can hear police helicopters sweeping the area, and sirens. Time to close the blinds.

Way too early to know for certain, but just from the little bit I've read I think the officer is gonna be ok.

Someone just posted a picture taken from what looks to be the Koch Center on the csail-related list.

Good, not a massacre, just that normal background noise violence we've come to accept.

Isn't there still a guy loose on a college campus who shot an officer?

For what it's worth, Cambridge averages less than a handful of murders every year. There's a lot of theft, but it's a surprisingly safe city given its 100k population.

They are still looking for him. *edit: They do have a photo, other police units have requested a copy.

True enough, but I still figured it was better to be safe than sorry.

Based on the entirety of human history, no. Why would you ever expect it to?

If you click the link from the actual tweet, it links a normal sized version of it. There's a blood stain on the concrete.

Sorry. Maybe Ive seen too many marathon pictures lately but this wasn't anything more than you'd see on a Law & Order episode.
