Toy rifle gives workers a scare

By KANSAN

Friday, January 18, 2008

Staff members at McCollum Hall had a scare Thursday night when a resident entered the building carrying what looked like a rifle.

A University employee spotted the resident entering the building just before 10 p.m. and notified police, who quickly determined that the student was a member of the ROTC who was moving back into the dorms and that the rifle was actually a plastic parade rifle.

Todd Cohen, director of University Relations, said that resident assistants were ready to go door-to-door notifying students but that the issue was resolved quickly.

“There was no threat,” he said, adding that the incident should remind students to be careful of their actions.
