After Trinity College alerted its students about a possible shooting near campus Friday night, the college updated students late evening that there was no danger to the campus and that no one in the Trinity community was involved.

"The Hartford Police Department has completed their investigation along Crescent Street and the area is clear. No members of the Trinity community were involved and there is no threat to our campus. Thank you for your cooperation," Francisco Ortiz Jr., director of campus safety, wrote to student in an email at 11:35 p.m. on Friday.

Earlier in the evening the college notified students of a crime scene investigation near campus involving possible shots fired.

Police took several people into custody in connection with the incident, the original alert from Ortiz Jr. stated.
