AMHERST - A person armed with a gun was reportedly in a University of Massachusetts Amherst dormitory and people on campus were advised to shelter in place. That's according to a text alert sent to students and staff Thursday afternoon shortly before 6 p.m.

The alert said a "hostile, armed person" was in Pierpont Hall in the Southwest residence area and a handgun was shown but not fired. Another alert minutes later said there were reports of a second "involved party" and no known direction of travel for either person.

The suspect with a gun is a white male wearing a dark colored shirt and a gold chain, the alert said, while the second person was a white male with a gray sweatshirt. UMass Police are on scene and have secured the perimeter, the alert said. A later alert shortly after 6 p.m. said police were "interviewing suspects and continuing to investigate."

Let's hope. Still better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you for posting some of the story and not being a douche like the OP. When will that become a bannable offense?
