Sadly, because the Virginia Tech shootings have, in a perverted way, inspired copycats, City College today was shut down because a copy cat threatened to start shooting students.
This all happened this morning around 9 when a student, wearing camouflage (never a good sign), began shouting at about thirty other students in a physics class. Somewhere along the way, he started shouting that he was going to start killing people and the police were quickly called. The campus was locked down and the police arrived within seven minutes and arrested the student.
There's been an increase in these kind of warnings lately, including the bomb threat at Hastings College. Because of this, there's been a huge debate as to whether the video of the Virginia Tech shooter should have been shown as people are afraid it'll inspire people to do, well, things like this.
