Police surround armed man at Arkansas State University

Updated 2:08 pm, Thursday, December 10, 2015

JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas State University locked down its campus and urged the evacuation of the student union Thursday after an armed man drove onto campus, a spokesman said.

The school sent an alert early Thursday afternoon urging the evacuation of the student union following a report of an active shooter.

Spokesman Bill Smith said the university was placed on lockdown after the man drove onto campus, but no shots were fired. He said police had surrounded the man less than 30 minutes later, but people were still urged to stay away from the student union.

The university is located in Jonesboro, about 130 miles northeast of Little Rock.

2. Nahhh... just a 'good guy with a gun' exercising his 2A rights

[2pooped2pop]

3. yep another responsible gun owner

no worries.

Ya know, I've seen too many videos of cops having mishaps with their guns and if anyone ought to be a well trained responsible gun owner, it's a cop. So why would I want Joe blow, who THINKS he is a responsible gun owner walking around in public with a gun. Too easy for accidents to happen, let alone idiots out to harm.

Guns at your house, your problem (but you must be careful or someone in you family could die) but guns in my stores, on my streets? Hell no. Now you just crossed over into my space.
