NEW BRITAIN — Three "people of interest" were in custody after a report of a man with a gun put the Central Connecticut State University campus into a lockdown that spanned more than three hours Monday, a police official said.

No shots were fired and no one was injured in the incident, which sparked a massive police response. The campus was essentially shut down, roads were blocked and classes were canceled.

Things slowly began to return to normal after a man in an orange shirt and camouflage pants was seen being led away in handcuffs around 2:30 p.m. New Britain Mayor Tim O'Brien said and CCSU reported on Twitter that one person was in custody. The lockdown was lifted around 3:15 p.m.

To say that I'm shocked, I tell you shocked, that I beat the first 'but, but, guns SAVE lives'.

3. "No Weapons Immediately Found"

When the dust settles, I strongly suspect we'll find this was a case of a few college students being stupid, but not acting criminally, other then maybe a disturbing the peace charge or something similar.
