Man going to art class is mistaken and reported by someone as carrying a real gun. One of the announcements told students of an "active shooter" on campus The university president implied racism might've been behind the mistake, as the man was black.

I hear NY is now going to outlaw sales of more than 7 glue sticks in one pack. Background check required prior to purchase. And no more than one glue stick in the gun at a time (no double stacking).

Cue Lee Greenwood
Lockdown, Dubov!Campus safety officers were called just before 8 p.m. after a student spotted a man walking into the O’Connor Campus Center with what the student thought was a gun, interim college dean Mark Thompson said.
Colgate Alert: There is an armed person at the Coop. Find a safe space and remain indoors. If you are off-campus,stay away.

University safety officials immediately sent a pair of announcements to students, including one that warned of an “active shooter on campus,” Colgate University President Brian Casey said Tuesday.
Police were called to investigate the report. In the campus center, officers found a Colgate student who brought a glue gun with him for an art project, Casey said.
The lockdown was lifted around midnight after police confirmed that the report was a case of misunderstanding.
Casey apologized to students and called the mistaken active shooter warning a “profound error.” He promised a full investigation of the incidents that led to Monday night’s lockdown.

Sounds like a sticky situation
Really I understand why there's apprehension, with so many nuts shooting up schools, but jeez.

Re: College locked down related to student with glue gun
Glad to hear that considering the warning said "active shooter."Campus Safety Director Bill Ferguson, who handled the school’s security response Monday night, has been placed on administrative leave as the investigation into Colgate’s response continues.
