Article makes it sound like the shooter is a teacher or faculty?

if so, it enhances the case for campus/student carry, no?

The “active shooter” was a Brinks guard, and no shots were fired.

Somebody have a test he didn’t study for?

Sounds like the campus police are the victims of a prank SWATing.
