Campus Cop, maybe some old geezer?

CAMBRIDGE — An MIT police officer was hit by gunfire late Thursday night, a Cambridge Police dispatcher said, and the campus was placed under an alert.

According to a tweet from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “there is a report of an active shooter in the vicinity” of Building 32, the renowned Stata Building.

Police officers and canine units swarmed the campus, and a big swath of Vassar Street was blocked.

There was no information immediately available on the officer’s condition.

Generally the Campus cops in Cambridge are more on the ball than their counterparts.

AND there are pretty tough parts of Cambridge off the campus.
