"There was a shooting at 32 Vassar St... No suspect description... No direction of flight..." MIT officer was shot and weapon stolen, I think they said the weapon was recovered. Officer is at MGH. Witness in lobby of Stata saw man in cowboy hat.

(All that on the police scanner in the last minute or so)

Thanks for this.

Kinda feels weird sitting in Jamaica listening to the police scanner around MIT.

Kinda awesome too - I know the tech is simple...but actually experiencing it, gives you this "world is small" feeling.

I would dearly love to be able to listen to the Jamaican police scanner!

Hrmmm....now that I think about it...so would I!

I wonder how that could be arranged.

On MBTA police scanner I hear hipsanic, possibly wearing a cowboy hat, with blood on him
