According to multiple news reports, Yale University has issued a directive to all students and staff to “shelter in place,” as there was an anonymous tip that there was a gunman on the prestigious campus.
The Yale website said that there was a “confirmed report” of a person with a gun on or near the university.
Campus emergency officials sent this message out at 10:17am:
New Haven Police have received an anonymous call from a phone booth in the 300 block of Columbus Avenue (between Howard Avenue and Hallock Street) reporting a person on the Yale Campus with a gun. There have been NO confirmations or sightings of this person. Yale and New Haven Police are in the area. If you have information, please call 911 immediately. The Yale Police Department advises those on campus to remain in their current location until there is additional information.It was then followed by this message at 11:02:
Confirmed report of person with a gun on/near Old Campus. SHELTER IN PLACE.
Oh for the love of God. Anonymous report of vague ‘man with a gun’ and people are told to cower in place. Take your own CCW and go about your day.
Maybe it’s just a townie looking for an easy score?

Impossible, guns aren’t allowed on campus.
Sounds like an EXCELLENT way to execute a Denial of Service attack on an entire university.
Alternately, these will start getting called in at campuses all over the country, until people assume they are pranks and/or false alarms. And THEN an attack. . .
First day of hunting season? Or a waiter with a folded-up apron?
Didn’t the just about all guns in that state, so I agree that its impossible, but never the less, the first thing they’ll screaming for is more gun laws. I guess ya cant fix stupid liberals.
That's what "shelter in place" really means. Cower unarmed and die.
“Shelter in place” = “Hold still so the bad guy can kill you.”
Umbrella? again.....
Most Americans are now sheep
Another student in a ninja costume?
We are still a badly divided country.
?
Exam today?
Ridiculous! Who makes a call from a phone booth these days? The hoaxer made the call from a phone booth so that he couldn’t be traced.
Somebody didn’t study for their exams.
