Campuses have banned guns. A gunman has a safer environment for himself.

I was on the phone and missed most of the WRVA report, but I think I heard them say “wearing a fake beard.”

UofR, Richmond and Henrico police are on the scene. He’s been seen in several locations.

Is the web cam showing the Library?

Anyone know the campus?

An “alert” in about 8 pt. type was finally posted in the bottom right hand corner of the U of Richmond web site at 4:15 ET. Wow, they are pretty slow and they have a big flaw if they can’t make it a banner.

Wonder if somebody saw the ROTC detachment loading weapons up for a weekend at the range at Ft. Lee or Pickett?
