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.
They could try looking for him in section 683.4 Small Firearms.
An olympiad from the UK, perhaps?
Nothing on WRVA or their website.

CBS 6 has learned that there were two sightings of the man. The first took place around 3pm, the second 20 minutes later. He was seen at the 815 Cafe, which is located inside the Boatwright Memorial Library Complex, by school employees. Employees believe the man was wearing a fake gray beard. Right now, police are looking through the library room by room.
Richmond, Henrico and University of Richmond Police have responded to a report of an armed person on the U-of-R campus. A university spokesman says that students and faculty are being told to stay where they are and to lock their doors. Police are looking for a white male with sandy blond hair. The suspect is said to have been wearing a brown or black jacket with “Sheriff” written across the back and was carrying a firearm.
No shots have been reported fired, said Linda Evans, the spokeswoman.
Scent dogs are being used in the investigation at the library at this hour. A surveillance photo was taken in the library, but authorities are not releasing it at this time.
“We’ve had two different reports from witnesses who said he had a firearm,” Evans said. The last time the person was reported seen was about 3:25 p.m. He was first seen about 3 p.m.
