No Suspects in Custody After Gunshots in Harvard Square, Cambridge Police Say | News | The Harvard Crimson

The Cambridge Police Department confirmed that no suspects are in police custody in connection after gunshots were fired Sunday afternoon at the Harvard Square MBTA station.

“At this time, there are no suspects in custody,” CPD Superintendent Frederick Cabral wrote in a statement to The Crimson more than an hour after a campus-wide shelter-in-place order was lifted by the Harvard University Police Department.

“The shelter in place was not issued by CPD. You would have to check HUPD for that,” Cabral added.

Asked three times whether a suspect had been found, HUPD spokesperson Steven G. Catalano declined each time to answer.

“The shelter in place has been lifted,” he wrote, adding that “people can go about their business.”

The shelter-in-place order was first issued at 2:46 p.m., before being lifted at 3:18 p.m. Cambridge police responded at 2:15 to reports of shots fired at Harvard Square. The incident also drew a response from the MBTA Transit Police and HUPD.

According to Cabral, there are no known victims.
