Police are looking for a person of interest following reports from Harvard Square MBTA station, confirmed Cambridge police service. On Sunday, Cambridge police responded to the station at 2:15 p.m. after receiving calls for blows from the Red Line Station. In a WCVB statement, MBTA transit police said that a man on the platform south of the Harvard Square station had fired four to five strokes. The suspect fled the station after the shooting, and nothing proves that anyone was struck by gunshots, the transit police said. Matthew West says he was on a train on the red line approaching Harvard Square when he heard the gunshots. “I still don’t know what happened. I walk in a state of disbelief,” said West. “I could hear four to five shots. Immediately, I didn’t know what it was, but clearly there was panic at the other end of the train. People were crouching behind things, backing through the car.” A video of a passenger on a red line train at the time of filming shows straps evacuating the train with their hands above their heads. Meanwhile, Harvard University ordered people on its nearby Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the campus to shelter in place, an order that has since been lifted. Red Line Service resumed on Sunday evening with delays up to 15 minutes, the MBTA announced. None were injured in the incident, Cambridge police said. An investigation into the shooting is active.
