CCSU campus on lockdown; possible active shooter situation **UPDATE** NO SHOOTER

Live feed from the Hartford Courant, SWAT on scene: http://live.courant.com/Event/Campus_Emergency_At_Central_Connecticut_State_University

The CCSU website has been blanked but for one big red-lettered warning:

"Campus Emergency
Remain Inside buildings. Stay in place!
Stay away from Windows.
Police are on the Scene."

http://www.ccsu.edu/

Update from Courant: "State police are talking with a man boxed into a dorm room in James Hall at Central Connecticut State University, a source told The Courant. The man is isolated and there has been no hostile act, the source said."

and start the serious tracking of these incidents.

Different color pins for different types, but I gave up on media reporting is because we hear more of them. They are actually escalating in frequency.

Watching Hartford NBC affiliate.

ETA: They are saying that no one has reported hearing shots fired at this time, thank goodness. They are speculating that it may be a hostage situation.
