A person was shot this evening at the entrance of a Harvard University residence hall, police said. It was not immediately clear whether the male victim was a student.

The Cambridge and Harvard police departments were still searching in around Kirkland House, one of Harvard's 12 undergraduate houses, for the assailant, according to a message sent to the Harvard community. University officials asked students to remain where they are and report unusual activity to the Harvard Police Department.

The Harvard Crimson, citing a witness who attends Harvard Dental School, said a person who appeared to be college-aged had been shot. The victim was bleeding but conscious when emergency responders arrived.

The victim allegedly was shot at the entrance to Kirkland and then collapsed on Dunster Street.

3. *sigh*

And the RKBA crowd will say something along the lines of "Look what happens in gun-free zones! People NEED CCWS!!!"

It's NOT that it's the EASY access to guns and EASY purchase of guns that allows these things to happen. We need more regulation to make the purchase of these deadly weapons harder.

4. Harder is not needed. Enforcement is needed.
