A bald man carrying a black umbrella was mistaken for a perp with a rifle at Cal State University San Marcos on Wednesday, shutting down the school, NBC San Diego reports.
Just after 8 a.m., CSUSM police tweeted that anyone on campus should shelter in place and barricade. By 9:45 a.m., an all clear was given over the loudspeakers on campus. … Officials told NBC 7 they determined the man involved was carrying an umbrella, not a rifle. … Some students who were working on campus Wednesday had just been trained the day prior for the possibility of an active shooter on campus.
The region was hit with an unusual and rare thunderstorm Wednesday, prompting people to carry – wait for it – umbrellas.
