Hot glue gun causes lockdown at Colgate University

Quote
A student carrying a hot glue gun for an art project triggered a four-hour lockdown Monday evening at Colgate University in New York.

The lockdown was initiated after witnesses reported seeing a person carrying what was thought to be a weapon into the O’Connor
Campus Center about 8 p.m., the university said in a press release. An official tweet said an “armed person” was on campus and
told students to “find a safe space and remain indoors.”

“After thorough investigation, and with the assistance of the person in question, law enforcement identified the individual as a student
who was using a glue gun for an art project, confirmed the misunderstanding, and released the campus from lockdown,” the university said.

The state police gave the all-clear by 11:40 p.m., the Observer-Dispatch reported.

Students were encouraged to gather at the university chapel at 12:30 a.m. in order to process the “upsetting evening,” the press release said.

The university’s handling of the incident sparked concerns of racial profiling among some students, considering that the man with the
glue gun is black,
according to the Huffington Post.

Must have also been a high-cap glue gun with an extended glue stick inserted. ...

I read a story where a guy shot an intruder and the prosecutor questioned why he cerakoted his rifle...did he do it so it would look like a toy?

The obvious reply:  "My black rifle was too scary for my anti-gun friends, so I changed the color.  It worked great!"   :geekdanc:

Actually the Glock with red frame and black slide looks pretty cool to me. 
Liberals would say the hot glue gun is a gun, and the person carrying it is a man so he actually is/was "the gunman".  Like the knifeman, machete man, screwdriver man, carman, truckman, footman, fistman etc.
