<p>I have gotten 4 phone calls in the last half hour from the RIT emergency alert service. Someone (allegedly) was spotted with a rifle on campus and students are being advised to stay in their rooms. Makes me a nervous parent as I'm not sure where my S is (probably sleeping).</p>
<p>Did you get the all-clear? It was an umbrella, not a rifle. </p>
<p>Fascinating to watch the news via Twitter.</p>
<p>I saw on the website that the advisory was lifted. Odd they called me 4 times with the alert, but not for the OK. I am not technically inclined enough to be on twitter! Since it is the first week of the quarter, I was not up on my S’s schedule, he actually should have been in class already.</p>
