Once officers were on scene, information was gathered from a witness that verified the incident.\n\nWhile officers were still on scene, we were notified of incidents occurring in neighboring communities. At approximately 3:30 p.m., the Prince George's County Police Department shared information online about a critical incident and confirmed one person was in custody and one weapon was recovered after reports of shots fired in multiple locations in the northern portion of the county, to include the area of 67th Avenue and Patterson.\n\nAt approximately 6:12 p.m., the Prince George's County Police Department held a press conference. During the press conference, it was confirmed that the suspect they had in custody was connected to the incident that occurred off-campus in College Park.\n\nThe Prince George's County Police Department continues to investigate.\n\nSafety Resources:\n\nUniversity of Maryland Police Department\n\nEmergency Number - 301-405-3333 / #3333 from a mobile phone (AT&T and Verizon Wireless) / 911\n\nNon-Emergency Number - 301-405-3555\n\nPrince George's County Police Department\n\nEmergency Number - 911\n\nNon-Emergency Number - 301-352-1200\n\nOffice of Emergency Management and Business Continuity\n\nhttps://prepare.umd.edu/ for quick access to phone numbers and emergency guide\n\nUMD Guardian (Mobile Campus Safety App)\n\nhttps://umpdnews.umd.edu/download-umd-guardian-app-today\n\nUMD Police Walking Escort\n\n301-405-3555\n\nNITE Ride\n\n301-314-3687\n\nhttps://transportation.umd.edu/shuttle-um/nite-ride\n\nADA/504 Coordinator\n\n301-405-2841\n\nhttps://accessibility.umd.edu/\n\nBias Incident Support Services\n\n301-405-0980\n\nhttps://biassupport.umd.edu/\n\nBiasSupport@umd.edu\n\nHelp Center (Peer Counseling & Crisis Intervention)\n\n301-314-4357\n\nhttps://helpcenterumd.org/\n\nCounseling Center\n\n301-314-7651\n\nhttps://counseling.umd.edu/\n\nCARE Office (Free & Confidential resource for those impacted by Sexual & Relationship Violence)\n\n301-741-3442\n\nhttps://health.umd.edu/CARE\n\nHealth Center\n\n301-314-8180\n\nhttps://health.umd.edu/\n\nOffice of Civil Rights and Sexual Misconduct (OCRSM)\n\n301-405-1142\n\nTitleIXcoordinator@umd.edu\n\nhttps://ocrsm.umd.edu/\n\nUMD Alerts\n\nhttps://alert.umd.edu",
