Students were
initially warned about an active shooter on the MIT campus and
told to take shelter in a tweet from the school's alert system,
which texts students about emergencies on campus.
About 15 minutes later, at 4 p.m. local time (ET), the system
posted a message on its website that police were investigating a
shooting but that the assailant was not believed to be on
campus.
Police in Cambridge, Massachusetts and at MIT declined to
comment.
