My wife just received a text message from MTSU indicating a man was seen with a gun on the campus of MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University). This is all I know as of right now.
Prayers for safety of all those on the campus.

5:30 p.m. A man was seen running into the KUC on campus and reportedly had a gun. Officials are advising people in the KUC to evacuate or to stay in place.
5:32: The man is said to be a black male, about 5’8” and 175 lbs. He has dark hair, is college age, is wearing a gray shirt, blue jeans, and is heavily tattooed. He is driving a dark-colored Chevy Impala with Tennessee Tags and MAY live in the Nottingham Apartments adjacent to campus on Greenland Drive.
That can’t be correct...it’s a gun-free zone! sarc/off
The man with the gun might just be the only safety there.
More information is needed.
Gee... stay or go... that helps.
Wonder what other two choices they could offer. /s
I have a niece at MTSU, thanks for the Heads Up, please post any updates you may recieve. I will do likewise.
Step away from all big screen TV's .. they cause cancer and overload the electric grid.
(No, really .. I just read about it from out in California)
Watching the local news (Nashville) and nothing on it yet...

[Not sure if it is live. No mention of the gunman on campus.]
MTSU played the NAS Pensacola football team back when Roger Staubach was stationed there.
Hope it all turns out well for you folks. Best wishes!
So was he threatening anyone, waving it around like a madman, or maybe carrying a rifle case? Or was it concealed carry, but someone caught a glimpse or maybe open carry? Even the comments here show just what affect the left has had on society concerning firearms, and that people should automatically be afraid.
Thanks. I just checked the WTVF site, they have a crew in M’boro but do not have anything more than we already know posted, so far.
My son is there in the Library now... hadn’t heard anything. Please keep us posted.

I went to school there back in 1970 and we kept guns in the dorms. You weren’t supposed to but they didn’t call out the swat team on you.
Was the gun victimizing the man in any way?
