Armed intruder was spotted. Highway patrol are there with rifles and what looks to be assault rifles. My son goes to the North Campus but I thought I would post this for those that don't know and are in the area.

1. If only this campus was full of armed students who could rush out into the streets with their guns.

That would really help the police right now.

2. Don't worry - it is an official gun free zone and is therefore impervious to violence. nt

4. yep - a campus bursting with armed machismo - that's the ticket

Some students are being released. Armed troopers still on campus. Still don't know anything.
