UB Gunmen

UB Gun Sighting

There were reports of a possible gunmen at Lockwood Library yesterday afternoon. The entire library was on lockdown by the police and everyone had to evacuate the building while the police comb the 6 story building for any weapons/gunman. Twitter and emails were frantic with updates. Classes were then canceled for the rest of the evening and everyone had to stay home. :/ I was safe and sound sleeping at home when it happened so I was not too affected. I was thinking how lucky I was not to be at the scene considering how Lockwood Library was where I camped out for the entire week last week till this Monday, most of the time for the entire day going from 9am to 9plus in the night. It must have been scary to be told to evacuate.

The school was so empty this morning! When my classes started, we had 6 students and 2 came later. I wonder if some people are staying away because of the incident which might not be impossible considering how we are just in the next building attached to that particular library.

The reports stated that police acted when they received a call about a suspicious person and the surveillance camera showed footage of a guy that matched the description. I would really love to see that footage from the surveillance camera! Though I wonder how people laid their hands on the footage above of the police searching the Cybrary. Now that I think about it, how scary was it! I guess it probably was a false alarm, but if the suspect knew that it was him who caused this incident since we know the time and location and what he was wearing, why won't he just come out to clarify it instead of leaving everybody apprehensive? Hmm. Something exciting to add to my UB experience.
