Even toy guns can stop classes

By Nial Maloney

Earlier today, students were asked to stay indoors and in class after reports of a man carrying a gun were submitted to police. But, it turns out that it was just four young children playing with their toy gun. These four young men were brought into custody after the University police called the New Jersey State Police. To me, nobody should even play with toy guns around a school after the past few years with all the school shootings.

The University has been reopened and the investigation still continues with Township police and Borough police. The notification that went out describes a young man with what appeared to be a shotgun near one of the dormitory buildings. The all-clear went out at 11:25 am local time and the school is pretty much back to normal. It's good to see how quickly police sprung to action after the reports after all the school shootings in the past few years and hopefully the man spotted was just one of the young men with a toy gun and not an actual shooter.
