UW-Platteville cancels classes over report of a gun

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville canceled classes Monday afternoon after a report of a gun in the building where the chancellor's office is located.

Ullsvik Hall, which also houses a coffee shop, art gallery and other offices, was immediately evacuated, and the campus was shut down within minutes.

Chancellor Dennis Shields said at an afternoon news conference that a student in the first floor of the building reported the incident.

"The witness heard what sounded like the racking of a gun from within one of the stalls in the restroom, observed what appeared to be a gun barrel, and exited the bathroom and pulled the fire alarm," Shields said, according to the Dubuque Telegraph Herald.

Shields announced on Twitter there were no shots fired and all buildings were methodically searched for a man with a gun.

--this , my alma mater as it were, is the same place that nearly shut down a few years ago because a janitor became alarmed over a sarcastic display of teddy bears were armed with paring knives--which were then replaced with plastic picnic knives---

Sounds like the “witness” had a mid-term he hadn’t studied for yet.

They need to expel the obviously mentally challenged idiot who reported this.

Report of a gun?

As in... a picture of a gun? A Pop Tart shaped gun?

I’m guessing the poor little snowflake who reported this is not from the rural Wisconsin area. Crazy!

We vote in April - You must be confusing us with Minnesota. The land that gave you Jesse Ventura, Al Franken and the only blue state in 1984 presidential election.

Just a “report of a gun” sends the snowflakes running to their “safe spaces”. These pixies are going to make “great Americans”.

But then again, his pulling he alarm may have scared off the gunman and in reality he saved lives. Unfortunately either scenario is all to real of a possibility in today’s world.

That seems wrong on so many levels. Guys are you concerned about what goes on in the stall next to you? Or peeking in to see the gun barrel?

Story did not mention if the brave student was treated for the vapors after this harrowing experience.

Shaking my head in disbelief and thanking God I do not live in Milwaukee.

In 0bama’s America, classes also shut down because of reports that a conservative may exercise their First Amendment rights.

The poor dears will need grievance counselors to help mourn the death of their innocent communism.

Close all liberal colleges just to be safe ...... wait,my bad, all colleges are liberal.

Aside if Kalenga , the student that reported the AK barrel and sound of the AK, was from Kalenga may be he’s heard a few and seen a few.
