There was a post on yik yak that said something to that effect and it was quickly identified as a horrible joke and taken down.

Are you (or he) being serious? Got any specifics on which dorms, because I'm within a golf shot of most of the dorms(the new ones/honors dorms anyways) and there's no evidence of anything going on.


Misinformation spreads so quickly with social media.

I'm pretty sure we would have heard something by now if this were true. Either his friend is lying or he's an a-hole.

four guys supposedly arrested dressed as clowns or the joker with guns have been apprehended. Then someone called saying that they (police) have taken the bait. Girls are allowed to leave Tutweiler hall and get off campus

I am being serious. No need for jokes in times like this. Could have been a rumor he heard. But that's what he told me. Prayers still going out. He have me no specific details.

Daughter in Tut just texted that lock down is over. She was in room with 15 girls.

Last 15 minutes have been hell. Parents worst nightmare.

What low life motherfricker would joke around like this?

It's very easy to trace an Internet connection. I hope they nail his/her arse to the wall.

After what happened in SB and other campus shootings, police have to respond no matter what. I hate that people can get away with it or at least think they can.

The amount of nonsense misinformation disseminated on social media has really got to make law enforcement's job tougher.

My sister at Bama was feeding me the current rumors and the amount of bullshite being churned out is amazing

Scary situation for sure. If whoever was behind the threat wanted to cause a panic he succeeded.
