College violence...at MY school?!
It's scary when the possibility of something like that seems real and hits this close to home. This morning our entire campus was put on "Alert". Text messages were sent to students advising them to be on the lookout for and report any "suspicious activity".
Luckily, the person in question was taken into custody not long after the alerts were sent out. We are being told that the text message, which "clearly stated the possibility of an act of violence against a person or persons unspecified", was actually sent to the university by mistake.  Supposedly, it was meant to go to a specific person with which this guy had a domestic dispute. How do you "accidentally" send a threatening text message to the advisement office of your university? It just seems weird to me.Anyway, I'm thankful that they arrested him before someone was hurt. I hope he gets the help he needs.

Angie,
That is so scary, and it seems to be happening so much lately, very sad times. I don't know what's going on in this world anymore. Glad you're safe and sound.  Kathy

I'm glad it was a false alarm. Last fall at the university here that I used to attend, there was a lockdown and apparently there was someone with a gun. It kind of went away without anyone really knowing what happened. The next week Kyle and I were at a movie and one of his friends happened to come in, carrying his bike seat and sat in front of us and he was talking to Kyle and he was like "You know that thing at the university? Yeah that was me!" He rides his bike everywhere, and takes the seat off and carries it in his backpack until his classes are over. Someone saw the bar sticking out of the backpack and thought it was a gun and called security and caused a lockdown!
