Before reading, please note that this incident was reported immediately to Public Safety who responded to the scene. Based on the information they received, it was determined that there was no immediate danger on the Main Campus.

Late Saturday evening, a white sedan was traveling southbound on State Street near State Street Village when one of the occupants, age 16-19, produced a small toy/bb handgun and shot it three times in the direction of a student. The vehicle immediately drove away. The student was not hit or injured in any way. The student contacted Public Safety who responded to the scene. There is no indication this was a real firearm, based on both the witness account and a search of the area. We are asking everyone in the IIT community to continue to be aware of their surroundings and to report any similar activity to Public Safety

Thank you,
