Yale University has urged students to "shelter in place" following a report of a gunman on campus.

SWAT teams have been sighted at the university, according to college newspaper Yale Daily News.
Students have received a text message saying: "Confirmed report of person with gun on/near Old Campus. Shelter in place. This is not a test."
Police got an anonymous phone call from a phone booth at around 10am local time reporting a person on campus with a gun.

Yale University is in Connecticut

Streets close to the campus have been blockaded, according to reports.
New Haven Police Department Lieutenant Jeff Hoffman said there have been no shootings and no injuries.
Yale has been on November recess since Saturday, meaning many students have left to celebrate Thanksgiving.
