UNI

My mom just checked her messages on her phone and it was a policeman from Cedar Falls. My older brother goes to UNI and the policeman was telling her that there was a possible gunman on campus and to stay away from Dancer Hall...

Anyone have any knowledge of this?

Re: UNI

I just got a call from my sister who goes to UNI... she says the dorms are on lockdown, but they don't know anything more than a "suspected gunman" is on campus. Looks like they're taking the necessary precautions.. I hope everyone there is safe.

Deep within the heart of Iowa, a storm is brewing...
... the winds of change ripple throughout the vast fields of corn surrounding the small college town of Ames.

The Gene Chizik era of football continues, and, with it, a renewed attitude of pride, determination, and success.

This is Cyclone Football.

Not much more info, but another article

Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.

Re: UNI

my brother's girlfriend goes to UNI and it sounds like someone got a threat around 5pm and the gunman is driving there from des moines or something..

that's all second-hand hearsay as far as a know, so take it fwiw.

Just talked to a high school classmate who lives in Dancer Hall. She said they all got emails and texts telling them to stay away from Dancer. She also said she could hear police men talking outside her door.

Gunman reported on UNI campus | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register
from the rag:

“They issued an alert for a potential gunman,” said UNI spokeswoman Vicki Grimes. “Everyone is encouraged to stay away from Dancer Hall.”

Grimes said campus police issued the alert after they “apparently they got reliable information that there was a gunman on campus.”

Hopefully they find the gunman before he hurts anyone

Thank you Wes Johnson for the great 2 years you gave Iowa State. Wish you could've stayed. Best of luck to you, wherever you end up.

"The one thing I really want to say is to tell the fans thank you for everything," Johnson said. "You rooted for me, you were behind me with my injury, and I really appreciated that."

Re: UNI

sounds like they are being very cautious (which is a good thing).. and things are being clear so far.

Sounds like some idiot from off campus threatened his girlfriend that lives in Dancer Hall that he was gonna come shoot her or something.. rediculous.

Students are currently allowed to leave the building.

It's great to be a cyclone/peacock!
EVERY YARD FOR ISU!
