The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein was on Princeton’s campus Tuesday night to deliver a talk when shots rang out in a neighboring hall and forced the campus into lockdown.
Princeton Police have set up a close-in perimeter around Nassau Hall, and University Public Safety officers are at a wider perimeter.

This is Nassau Hall, the Princeton building where there has reportedly been gunfire. Oldest building on campus. pic.twitter.com/2AkAFST22b

The entire incident passed quickly, but it takes no time at all to blame the NRA and Tea Party.

Hold your fire, douche-tweeters.
At this time this is not a shooting. Police have responded to reports of gunshots. No injuries have been reported.
