Toy rifle linked to alert that affected three college campuses
South Florida Sun Sentinel ^ | 10/4/19 | Tonya Alanez

A massive police presence and the lockdown of three college campuses in Davie led to the eventual discovery of a man with a colorful toy gun that apparently launched the incident.

About 1 a.m. Friday, Davie police tweeted out a picture of the gun that was found after the lockdown had been lifted. An officer found the man walking with the toy gun on Stirling Road, police said.

Davie police conducted an extensive search of the FAU campus while helicopters flew overhead. Police presence was heavy throughout the area just south of Interstate 595 and Davie Road.

Florida man exists because Florida cops exist.
It’s a perfect match.

Yeah, that certainly looks authentic.

Was the alert because the toy maker forgot to put the orange tip on the barrel to indicate the gun is not real?

The cops got a couple of calls that there was a man with a rifle on campus. They didn’t know it was a toy until the man was caught a few miles away.

My daughter owns a similar firearm. It’s a pink Hello Kitty 20 Ga. semiautomatic shotgun.

The Davie Police tweet says that both the suspect and the toy gun "matched the description given by the witness".

I would love to read that description!

It’s not the gun, it’s the highly dangerous, lime green, fully-automatic bump stock that folks are concerned with.

Reminds me of when reports of a Klansman armed with a whip on the campus of Indiana University generated hysteria. Turns out the "Klansman" was a Catholic priest carrying a rosary.

When I was 14, I walked all over town carrying a .22 rifle. If a cop drove by, he'd just wave.

This wasn't that long ago.

One would hope they made him sit in the corner for a really long time.
