Wonder how many "gunman" are on LSU & Southern right now?

ABC said it was reported by three kids attending a camp on campus.....said a white male had what "appeared to be a handgun" covered with a cloth outside a campus dining hall. Everything is on lockdown.

There's no telling. Hopefully all a mistake.

Now they're saying no gunman found. Didn't say if the search is ongoing. Hope it is just a prank or a case of paranoia. Or a case of some kids in need of an a$$ whipping.

Update to VT Alerts
At 9:09 a.m. three juveniles attending a camp at the university reported seeing a white male, 6 feet tall, with light brown hair outside of New Residence Hall East holding what may have been a handgun. They say the weapon was covered by a cloth or covering of some sort. He was walking fast in the direction of the volleyball courts. He was wearing a blue and white striped shirt (stripes were vertical), gray shorts and brown sandals. The subject had no facial hair or glasses.
Officers responded immediately to the area but found no one matching the description. Police have encountered no other witnesses reporting this individual or anything suspicious. Law enforcement officers from VTPD, Blacksburg PD, Christiansburg PD, Virginia State Police, and Montgomery County Sheriff's Office are patrolling the campus, continuing to look for the subject.

CC is allowed at VT.

Maybe they actually saw someone with a gun and it was someone legal?
