NY college locked down; shots reported off campus

BROCKPORT, N.Y. — The state university in Brockport, N.Y., is telling people to stay in their buildings and lock the doors because of reports of gunfire just off campus.

A notice on the College at Brockport’s Web site says police reported an “active shooter” just before 1:30 p.m. on a road at the western border of the campus.

Calls to police and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department weren’t immediately returned. No other details were available Friday afternoon.

The regular semester hasn’t started yet at the school outside Rochester. But spokesman Nick Mascari says there might be several hundred staffers and some faculty members on campus.
