NEW YORK -- One person carrying a rifle in a bag was arrested on the St. John's Queens campus Wednesday afternoon, police said.
The man appeared to be wearing a President Bush mask, according to preliminary information from law enforcement officials.
Authorities asked students and faculty across the campus to stay indoors. There was a large police presence on the campus. Areas near the site of the man's apprehension have been locked down.
Police said they were possibly looking for more suspects.
The St. John's University Web site issued this advisory:
"A male with a rifle in a bag was apprehended on St. John's Queens campus today. Public Safety officers quickly disarmed the suspect and have turned him over to NYPD. Additional information will be forthcoming as it becomes available."
My niece goes to St. John’s and just got home. She says there were a total of 4 men with guns on campus.
“The man appeared to be wearing a President Bush mask...”
Another looney leftist bites the dust.
Prayers for the school. My daughter just graduated from college in May. Can’t tell you how grateful I am that she’s gone. Of course, the world holds many dangers as well.
Let us hope he makes police have to use deadly force.
Is this the boyfriend of the MIT “take my bomb and play doh outfit to the Logan airport” girl?!
For their next stunt they took fake guns to a campus or bank?!
Another looney leftist bites the dust.
Maybe the mask and gun were "art". ;-)
Bush’s Fault!
I bet he sues the school for “Sane-ism”.
I swear, that’s a real term now.
I’m surprised that he wasn’t naked. He really missed an important touch.
Muslims with Bush-masks? Or part of the VWRC?
If its one nut, its a toss. If its four...
How did they know there was a rifle in the bag?
The school sent out some type of advisory to the students but she was alerted by a text message from a friend in another building.
Thank the Lord before..............????????????????
Must be either (1) a terrorist, or (2) one of those peaceful, anti-war protestors.
Bush Derangement Syndrome. The full flower of Leftist lunacy. Thank you MSM and Democrats for fostering this insanity.
Obviously they opened it up at some point. If you wear a Bush mask you are bound to be arrested by many loony leftists who will declare, “citizens arrest.”
The charge of course being “international terrorists,” - “war criminal.”
Well, it IS dove season.
LOL. And if President Bush wasn't taking everyone's rights away, this artist wouldn't have to express himself in such an avant-garde fashion. /DU mode
