Harvard University students and staff were ordered to shelter in place Friday after a reported shooting in Cambridge.
The university issued an emergency alert saying Cambridge police received a report that an unidentified man on a bicycle fired shots at another person on Sherman Street. The suspect was last seen heading toward Garden Street.
Garden Street leads south past Cambridge Common and connects with Massachusetts Avenue near Harvard’s campus.
City and university police are searching for the suspect. Members of the Harvard community were instructed to stay inside and avoid the Quad area.
The shelter in place order was lifted early Friday afternoon, and while shell casings were discovered there is no shooter in custody. No victims have been reported.
