Students at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst have been asked to shelter in place, after an “armed person” was reported on campus, CBS Boston reports, in first-year residence Pierpont Hall.

University police have reportedly secured the perimeter and are interviewing witnesses. The shelter in place order is for the entire campus, not just the immediate area around Pierpont.

Update – 7:18 pm
