Michigan State University students told to ‘run, hide, fight’ after shots reported on campus

Michigan State University was placed on lockdown Monday night after shots were reported at the East Lansing campus.

Students were urged to “secure in place.”

“Run, Hide, Fight,” an alert sent to students about 8:30 p.m. said. “Run means evacuate away from danger if you can do so safely, Hide means to secure-in-place, and Fight means protect yourself if no other option.” 

University police tweeted that shots had been fired near Berkey Hall and that anyone in the area should shelter in place.

It wasn’t immediately clear if anyone was injured. Campus police would say only that they were responding and investigating.

Students on campus reported on social media that they were hiding or barricaded as officers fanned out.
