However, other than the death, CNN did not provide any other details, such as the reason for the gunshots.

The newest development came after MIT on Thursday night reported on its website that gunshots were reported late in the night on campus, and state police said a MIT police officer has been shot.

According to MIT, gunshots were reported at 10:48 PM local time near Building 32 (Stata). Areas near Building 32 are currently surrounded by responding agencies, and an investigation is under way.

Responding agencies were said to have been investigating an "active shooter incident." The school advised students and faculty to stay indoors and away from the building and surrounding area.
