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.

Helicopters have left the Princeton area, everything quiet, except for all the students fielding frantic calls from parents

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.
