Just heard from someone locked in at say Massart it's an active shooter situation? Anyone have more info?
edit: "if anyone is coming out of their rooms, tell them to stay in until the building is secure"
"excellent job by everyone, lets secure those floors after we cleared them, thanks for the help"
Sounds like it's all set or will be soon
edit 2: "all clear to open up the floors and the perimeter"
sounds like its all over

There was a sighting of an armed person on the 5th floor of a wentworth building seen at 12:11, apparently it wasn't reported until 1:11, police are still w/ the witness. Just what I got from the police scanner
Edit: Sounds like situation is all clear and police are leaving/about to leave

I have a son who is a student at MassArt and is currently stuck outside due to the lockdown. His report is:
> The police don't know anything but guys with guns went in
Which is both accurate to the situation and a commentary on policing in general.

Scanners sound like they are clearing floors somewhere.

I heard some chatter about a noncooperative suspect being brought down an elevator who was yelling, assuming this is the same person? if so it sounds like it's been deescalated?

It was a construction worker they said. Not sure why he was being a jerk about it.

Were there weird looking backpacks attached to those guns? Did they arrive in a white station wagon mobile?

It was someone doing a costume photo shoot with a prop gun. All clear.

It's out in the news now. Some kid doing a photoshoot in Red Hood cosplay had fake guns.

I live right there and just got back from work as it was happening. Also had just got back from work as the fake bomb scare was happening next door too. Fuck this.

you dont think cops know that and arent going to put sensitive stuff on a scanner?

Well, that's one way to guarantee yourself to get shot.

ive said it before and ill say it again, ill never understand why the city was criticized in this incident. these guys put up small led devices with batteries and wires on 93 and other bridges, told no one about it, and then knew about the response and still didnt alert authorities that it was just a marketing campaign
just because a cartoon character was on it doesnt mean it couldnt have been something sinister, cartoon network and their marketing team were 100% responsible

>someone having a gun on them actually isn’t illegal in MA
It absolutely is illegal on a college campus. If someone has a readily visible firearm on a college campus and isn't wearing a law enforcement uniform and badge you should absolutely call 911.

The counterargument to that is that in the other nine cities where the Mooninites had been up for weeks no one reported them.
Maybe all the other cities underreacted.

Would you feel better if the police didn't take this as seriously?
