Active shooter reported at Emory University in Atlanta, authorities say

ATLANTA (AP) — Emory University alerted students and staff Friday to an active shooter on their Atlanta campus, telling students to “RUN, HIDE, FIGHT” and avoid the area.

Atlanta police said they were responding to reports of an active shooter.

Staff at a deli near campus locked the doors and hunkered down inside. Brandy Giraldo, General Miur’s chief operating officer, said staffers inside heard a string of gunshots.

“It sounded like fireworks going off, one right after the other,” she said.
