WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- One person was shot with a firearm at 330 Cole Ave. on Sunday morning, triggering an hour-long lockdown of Williams College and a manhunt for an armed suspect.

 

A reverse 911 call from the town at 12:39 Sunday afternoon indicated that Williamstown Police and the Massachusetts State Police are investigating the incident.

 

"At this time, based on evidence seen, this appears to be a specific, targeted incident," the reverse 911 call indicated. "The general public not in danger at this time. This [call] is for public awareness only."

 

The robocall indicates that the shooting took place at 10:15 a.m.

 

Williams announced the lockdown in an 11:38 text (and shortly after an email) to the college community. The college sent a text to its community at 12:55 p.m. saying it was ending the lockdown.

 

Williamstown Police Sunday afternoon confirmed the lone victim in the shooting was alive when transported to Berkshire Medical Center.
