Central Connecticut State University is in full lock down this afternoon and administrators are repeatedly urging students to stay indoors after an armed man was spotted on campus. Preliminary reports indicate that officers have contained the man in James Hall, a dorm at the university in New Britain, Connecticut. Shortly after the lockdown began, the Central Connecticut State website was taken down and replaced with a short, urgent warning: ´Campus Emergency. Remain Inside buildings. Stay in place! Stay away from Windows. Police are on the Scene.´

“How do you get in a door?”

Killer: “Open the damned door.”
Unarmed victim on lockdown (sotto voce): “Nobody here...(deeper voice) bark...barkbark...bark.”

Why?

Is someone walking around campus with a pointed stick?

Every now and then, some school is on lockdown because of some imaginary guy walking across campus with a weapon- usually not found.

Move along, nothing to see here...

So far from descriptions: a maybe-mask on a cold day, and a baguette.

This points out the need for “common sense” baguette-control laws...

It’s the assault baguettes that are the problem. What we need is an assault baguette buy-back program....

This is not possible as this school is mandated to be a “gun-free” zone. So, this can’t happen there.

Ok...despite earlier news reports, there apparently was some real knowledge. Apparently a student who was a former police officer was following just behind a guy with a rifle and a sword and called it in.

Why don’t they just issue small “Gun Free Zone” cards to show a potential shooter?
