All these reports of gunmen seem to be getting squashed pretty easily on Twitter
The police would have everything on lockdown if it was somewhat true but they're lifting all lockdowns
Let's use our common sense before posting stuff like that

You should see what twitter is saying about the situation. Search 'Alabama' and youd think ISIS is launching an attack on a dorm

Just trying to keep people informed from what was a pretty reliable source. Never said it was true just what he said.

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.
Internet anonymity and ease of access has really changed things.
There's a practice known as "swatting" now. In online gaming, if one player gets pissed at another, they can trace the ip, and call local law enforcement to report drug deal, homicide, shots fired, whatever, at that location, and police departments have to respond. So, swat team kicks down a door, and it's a teenager playing counter strike.
Smoke and mirrors, man.

Glad to hear there was no harm done. I'm sure there is ongoing investigation as to where this threat originated...

I have quite a few friends with daughters that live in Tut or in sorority houses and they have been freaked the frick out.
Hope this really is nothing and I hope the idiots who posted that garbage as a "prank" are dealt with and punished to the fullest extent of the law.
There are some sick assholes out there.
I can't even imagine having a child somewhere and hearing there might be something like this going down. Makes me want to keep them at home.
Thanks to MOST of the rival fans for the concern and well wishes. And if you made a shitty joke about it - frick you.

Glad nothing came of this. Probably just some disgruntled idiot.

Glad to hear all is good.

TAR-21s are definitely not being used even if the threat were legit. That's an Israeli rifle, and the only ones in the States are in the hands of the police or class 3 dealers.
