Virginia Tech, site of a 2007 mass shooting, issued a campus lockdown Thursday after a man with a gun was reportedly spotted on campus.
NBC affiliate WSLS confirmed that the campus siren system had been activated and all people on campus had been asked to remain indoors.
The university issued an alert on its website at 9:37 a.m. Thursday telling students and employees to stay inside and secure doors.
A subsequent crime alert said three children attending a camp on campus reported seeing a white man who appeared to have a gun covered with a cloth.

Three children at summer camp saw a gun covered by a cloth.
If it was covered by a cloth, how did they determine that it was a gun?

"A subsequent crime alert said three children attending a camp on campus reported seeing a white man who appeared to have a gun covered with a cloth."Uh huh. And I wonder who could possibly have told the children to say this.
"Did anyone see a white man with a gun, children?"
"Oh, oh, I did, I did!" "Me, too!"

Let’s panic and overreact! Then we can alert the press!

Maybe the “gunman” was really trying to sneak his puppy into the dorm, before the POLICE shot him.
