More trauma and tragedy in Boston, this time on the MIT campus.
From FOX News:
A Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus police officer died from injuries in a shooting on the campus outside Boston Thursday night, authorities said.There also has been a carjacking, a State Police SUV or a Mercedes or a Camaro or a Honda Accord.
Cambridge police and the Middlesex District Attorney's office said the officer was responding to a report of a disturbance when he was shot.
...State police spokesman Dave Procopio said the shooting took place about 10:30 p.m. outside an MIT building. The area was cordoned off and surrounded by responding law enforcement agencies, according to a posting on the university's website.
Authorities told MyFoxBoston.com that the officer appeared to have been shot multiple times. There were no other victims.
Procopio said authorities were searching for a suspect or suspects. No arrests have been made.
The university described the situation late Thursday as "active and extremely dangerous" and said an investigation is underway.
