Reported Offense: On Sunday, November 6, 2022 at approximately 2:15 AM, gunshots were heard near campus and Public Safety learned that the Chicago Police Department was searching for one of the shooters in the area of campus. A lockdown was initiated on the Chicago campus. The shooting occurred on the street at 321 W Chicago Ave. One shooter was arrested and one firearm was recovered shortly after the incident. A second shooter fled north. Four shooting victims were cared for by the Chicago Fire Department or at Northwestern Hospital. No one within the Moody community was involved or in the area.

Around 3:00 AM, The Chicago Police Department had information that the second shooter left the area in a second vehicle, so the campus lockdown was ended at that time.

How the first alert is built

To check this alert, Claude (an AI) read it in full 25 separate times, independently. Each read decided whether the message answers each of the six questions and gave a short reason. A final reviewer then weighed all 25 and wrote the plain-English verdict you see when you open a row. The score (for example 22/25) is how many reads agreed; the 25 individual reads are tucked underneath if you want to check them.

    Final assessment

    Near-campus shooting / aggravated assault is the hazard.

    What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

    Final assessment

    321 W Chicago Ave; Chicago campus lockdown is named.

    Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

    The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

    Final assessment

    One shooter arrested; four victims treated; lockdown ended; no Moody community involved.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
