A 28-year-old Marshfield man is in police custody after he allegedly tried to bring two handguns into the Boston University commencement ceremony Sunday.

Andrea Massa was arrested by Boston University Police at a nearby security checkpoint around 1 p.m., Metro Boston reports.

Boston University spokesperson Colin Riley told Boston.com the suspect “didn’t want to let police stop him,” which prompted additional scrutiny.

It’s sad that one has to submit to PD screening to attend a graduation.

Andrea Bocelli, in spite of being blind and haaving a girl's name, did alright for himself.

A guy that once worked for me was raised with the nickname “Lorrie,” which is an acceptable name for a man in Ireland, and Scotland where his parents were born, but not in Orinda California.

He eventually got expelled from high school due to all the fights he was in. He did have a huge chip on his shoulder.

Just wondering how many fights “Andrea” got into .... I’ve heard the name Lorrie before. No, not the actor Peter Lorrie.

"It’s a man’s name in Italy."

Boston University spokesperson Colin Riley told Boston.com the suspect “didn’t want to let police stop him,” which prompted additional scrutiny.

So he was nervous because he knew he was violating the law carrying on a school.

Massa will be arraigned in Brighton District Court Monday, facing charges of disorderly conduct, carrying a firearm on school grounds, and violating the terms of his license to carry for hunting and target practice

Sounds like a Massachusetts Class B LTC which is worthless because you can't carry. You can only transport locked and unloaded from point A to point B.

WHDH-TV News reporter Adam Harding reportedly spoke to Massa’s wife, who called the incindent “misunderstanding.”

No. It shows he is stupid. He could have skipped going to a boring graduation listening to an empty suit "Mini Me Duval Patrick." He could have gone to the gun club and have some fun practicing shooting.

Might have been a wood chip.

He was a fish out of water working for me, because he is an excellent carpenter!
