NY University Placed On Lockdown Because Of A Hot Glue Gun

By Beth Baumann

Monday evening, Colgate University, located in Hamilton, New York, went on lockdown for four hours. Police had received reports of a gunman on the college campus. The reports turned out to be false. The threat was actually a student…using a hot glue gun.

Yes, you read that right. A hot glue gun. The kind you use for art projects.

According to university spokesman Daniel DeVries, someone had “entered the O’Connor Campus Center while carrying what witnesses believed was a weapon.”

Colgate Alert: There is an armed person at the Coop. Find a safe space and remain indoors. If you are off-campus,stay away.
