Harvard University briefly implemented a shelter-in-place order Friday morning while police searched for a suspect on a bicycle who allegedly shot at another person in Cambridge.
“Cambridge Police are currently on-scene of a shots fired incident that took place on Sherman Street in the vicinity of Danehy Park,” a spokesman for Cambridge police told Boston.com via email. “Ballistic evidence has been recovered.”
There aren’t any known victims or concerns about public safety risk at this time, the spokesman confirmed.
Harvard issued multiple emergency alerts to the community before noon, warning that university and Cambridge police were searching for the suspect near the Radcliffe Quad.
By noon, the university had lifted the shelter in place.
“Please continue to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the HUPD at 617-495-1212,” a Harvard alert noted.
This is a developing story, which will be updated as more information becomes available. Harvard updates emergency situations on campus on its emergency alerts page.

A smoke scare on a Delta Airlines flight from Boston caused it to turn around.
The flight, with more than 250 people on board, was headed to Nice, France, when the pilots reported smoke in the cockpit.
As a precaution, the flight was treated as an emergency and was given priority once it returned to Logan Airport.
The plane landed safely and the passengers were reaccommodated.
