Here’s what CCSU’s website looks like right now:

More from The Hartford Courant:

A spokeswoman at CCSU said the emergency was not a shooting but would not elaborate. A New Britain official said there had been a report of a man with a gun and a knife on campus. New Britain and CCSU police did not immediately return calls.

We hope everyone is safe.

Wow @ccsu has an amazing emergency response system through social media! Pray everyone is okay
