RITs website said the school is on alert. It has been remove tho. RIT Alert update: All clear. March 16, 2012 Shelter in place advisory has been lifted. Stay tuned to this page and the Emergency Information site for more information. I don’t really believe the “Rifle” spotted reports esp at engineering schools. We had them at UB when I was there and were on lock down and it was someone carrying a roll of drawings in the rain. ---

[quote=“jay\_g,post:9,topic:221251"”] I’d rather have someone think an umbrella was a gun instead of a gun was an umbrella [/quote] I thought that too. Imagine the public outcry if they DIDN’T respond, take it seriously and something did happen. I can see how someone would think it was a gun though. ---
