My friend who works at the University says they are in lockdown mode because there is a gunman on the loose in the library. Anyone have more info?
Let me be the first to bet its a guy carrying an umbrella or something, and a woman with a lot of cats freaked out and called it in as a man with a gun.
Gunmen on college campuses seem to be the ‘in’ thing now days.
Richmond Virginia - sorry I forgot to make that clear.
Nothing on its web site.
He’s trying to “get an education” before he shoots up the place...
They could try looking for him in section 683.4 Small Firearms.
She said (via Instant Messenger) that the lockdown alert went out about 20 minutes ago. I’ll keep everyone posted with what she writes.
Bump for bookmark.
Still nothing on the University of Richmond web site.
An olympiad from the UK, perhaps?
THE ONE WITH A UNIVERSITY, SILLY!.............
Im looking at the live cam they have on campus where you can move it around over the net.. place looks dead to me.. not a soul around.
There was a local bar band around here called “The Naked Gunmen”.........
Nothing on WRVA or their website.
Yeah, but there are deadly apartment shootings all the time around the country that claim multiple lives. These barely make it past the first night on the local news, but the individuals involved are just as dead.
God forbid it happens on a college campus, though. Not to trivialize the deaths of the students, but it’s kind of interesting that college shootings have a disproportionately larger impact on the public. I guess it’s because, at a school, the news organizations can capitalize on the irrational fears of parents accross the nation and make it a bigger story.
