Riot police have reportedly clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Richmond, forcing emergency officials to issue a shelter-in-place order for anyone caught in the middle.

A shelter-in-place order asks people to stay inside the nearest building, or the one they currently occupy, rather than trying to evacuate to another location.
