A report of man carrying a rifle on the campus of Cal State University San Marcos prompted a campus-wide lockdown and search by local law enforcement officials Wednesday.

Officials told NBC 7 they determined the man involved was carrying an umbrella, not a rifle.

My 20-story office building in Hollywood used to get evacuated from time to time because of this sort of thing. One time a bum tossed a briefcase in the bushes and that triggered an evacuation... and a bomb squad robot and all that jazz.
