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.”

“Armed Man Arrested at St. John’s”
By Sewell Chan
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Updated, 5:35 p.m. | A man with a rifle in a bag was arrested by campus police this afternoon at St. John’s University in Queens and turned over to New York City police, who said they were also searching for a second possible suspect. Police officers descended on the St. John’s campus.
Police identified the armed man as Omesh Hiraman, a 22-year-old student from Guyana. They initially identified the weapon he was carrying as a musket, but later said it was a .50-caliber Wolf rifle, which holds one round of ammunition and uses black powder instead of cartridges. It was not clear if the firearm was loaded, but no ammunition was found in the bag. The weapon is seen as a niche weapon among hunters and sportsmen.”

YIKES! My Alma Mater. Looks like they have gone over to “diversity”, too.
Omesh Hiraman. Definitely not one of the local Irish-Americans.

I see that the perp: Omesh Hiraman, a 22-year-old student from Guyana - is just a “troubled” youth.
