On Sunday afternoon, multiple shots were fired on the Harvard Square Red Line platform, leading to a swift emergency response from Transit Police. A preliminary investigation indicated that the shooter, who fled the scene, aimed at a specific individual but no one was reported injured. Commuter services faced temporary disruptions, requiring shuttle buses to replace regular transit. Harvard University issued a brief shelter-in-place order for its community, which was lifted after 30 minutes as police assessed the situation. The prompt response ultimately restored normal service by early evening.
Transit Police responded to a report of shots fired at the Red Line stop in Cambridge around 2:12 p.m., spokesperson Richard Sullivan said.
Harvard University issued a shelter-in-place for the school community at 2:45 p.m., which was suspended a half hour later, The Boston Globe reported.
