Gunman on campus, buildings on lockdown
Monday, 03 March 2008
Appalachian State University is on lockdown following the siting of a masked gunman in the Hill Street area of campus.
University Police say the suspect is a six-foot white male wearing a black Pink Floyd T-shirt with a rainbow prism, a dark jacket, a black or blue ski mask and red and green tennis shoes.
The suspect is still at large as police are currently attempting to locate the man.
All night classes have been cancelled.
The Appalachian will continue with updates as they arrive.

bttt!
Pretty good ID for a MASKED GUNMAN.
Was the gun masked, too, or was that just hysterical reporting, designed to cause news-making panic?
not mad at you guys, just the Drive-by Mediots.
Son says that he was walking across campus when the police started showing up and by the time he got up to his room, he got the text alert from the school. A couple of his buddies on the floor said they were in the cafeteria nearby when officers came in and told everybody to clear out(?) Not sure why they didn’t just lock down the cafeteria also but that story could be second-hand hearsay chalked up to some wide-eyed 19 and 20 year olds...
Like nobody knows the shirt is older than the creep.
Could it be the “person of interest” was just bundled up for the cold???
I guess I haven’t seen the part where there was a gun spotted on that very person...
I would go read some more, but today is filled with many other harrowing tales and tragedies of other shootings around the country...
