Samford Security Scare

Samford University (the University in which my Beeson Divinity School is a graduate school) went into lock-down mode this morning. I got an e-mail at 5:47 this morning saying, “SU-EMERGENY - A suspicious person with a weapon is on campus. Remain in your dorm until ALL CLEAR. THIS IS NOT A TEST,” and I was just able to catch my roommate who was on his way to work out at the gym.

They have just lifted the lock-down, and here is the best news report that I could find so far.

UPDATE 9:32am: Our University President, Dr. Andrew Westmoreland, just posted this update.

    re: University president’s statement: a “black toboggan” on his head?
    Did he mean “turban”??

    Kerri,

    I was confused myself, so I looked it up on Wikipedia. Apparently some people call stocking caps “toboggan” hats. Weird, if I might say so. Probably yet another strange Southern thing?
