URGENT! MAN WITH LONG GUN ON IUPUI CAMPUS DOWNTOWN

[the1kidd03]

WTHR 13's facebook page.

Ummm, can one link to Facebook?

Go to Facebook and type in WTHR Indianapolis and look for my name.

Just trying to save time because they have half a dozen different threads on the topic each.

 

[Tripp11]

Kidd - No worries.

Along with others, I'm VERY curious to see what you discover relative to who called it in.

 

[the1kidd03]

Not sure if this will work, but let me try. Welcome to Facebook

If that doesn't work, just go to WTHR's facebook page, then view "recent posts by others" (or by friends if you're friends with Kirk on there) then scroll down and look for the post by Kirk Freeman and read the comments on it. I think Kirk's post was about an hour ago.

Found it. Thanks

This is really starting to stink. I cannot see any other possibility other than this was a planned political stunt.

I think I agree with you. Planned stunt.

What I don't understand is how a scare like this is justifiable reason to NOT allow campus carry.

Wouldn't logic say that all of these people were fearful because they had no means to defend themselves and didn't need to worry if they had been permitted access to proper defense tools.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Think like your enemy.

Guns=Criminals, thus Citizen with gun=criminal.

Who protects us from criminals, the government via the police.

Sheep cannot distinguish between the sheep dog and the wolf.

Yes, LOGIC would state exactly what you stated above. However, these people don't use logic, they use emotion. And emotion says that if someone got scared because they thought they saw a gun, thus causing a 4 hour lockdown and manhunt, then allowing proper persons to conceal carry on campus will create more of these problems when people spot a gun that was intended to be concealed. We don't want to put people in a panic on a regular basis, so it's best to coddle those with a fear of guns than to allow proper persons the ability to defend themselves should a real event occur. Besides, this is Indiana and mass shootings don't occur here, so you have no real reason to carry a gun for protection. Plus, we have campus police, who coordinate with state police and we react quickly to prevent any potential shootings. Insert purple where needed, but these WILL be their arguments against allowing people to carry on campus.

I bet there is not one image on any of the security cams in the supposed area of this happening.

Just talk to them about the south bend shooting

You are correct. Because there aren't any security cameras in that area. IUPUI reviewing procedures following Tuesday alert - 13 WTHR Indianapolis

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Only a person well-versed with where the camera are could make a call from a blind zone on campus.

This reeks of faculty involvement.

+1 I can't believe the media isn't trying to get the identify of the caller and investigate the whole incident, after all, it appears as if it were a colossal waste of tax dollars.

 

[djhuckle]

On WIBC they said the MWAG call was from a band *** who saw an instrument case in someone's trunk, and looked closer to check it out, and saw a shotgun inside it. So the gun--if it was a gun--never left the trunk. It very well may have been paintball gear.

This is hysteria. Wasn't this story on the national news? People are just waiting, almost hoping, for a shooting.

A band what? I know you didn't say f a g right?

Your olfactory sense is onto something. I just had a mind-numbing phone conversation with someone that I trust fully. You wont believe me but you would believe him.

A) There was no person seen with a long gun in hand walking or otherwise.

B) This may have not been a long gun that was seen - it may have been nothing or never existed.

C) The person that called this in to report a long gunman may not even exist. As it appears very clearly that it might have been an exercise. mmm hmmmm.

I don't know anything more, but the news isn't going to help.


Does anyone have any physical discription information from yesterday? I can't find anything about dress/height/build/hair, nothing. please link me anything like that.

We're about to see a pseudo cover-up if a challenge is made to investigate deeper.

On IndyStar yesterday, I read something along the lines of "male, in his 40's, who was driving a grey or green sedan".

 

[Kirk Freeman]

This is reeks of faculty involvement. I am uncovering more and more of these false reports which are all covered in the stink of faculty puppetry.

Dum Vivimus, Vivamus: Welcome to your world.

We need a name. We need to know who called it in. We need to know who that person is, how she is related to IUPUI and who told her to do this.

 

[MWCMT]

Indy911Calls.com did not show any calls before 1:00PM yesterday either.

 

[Ruffnek]

Funny, that was my first thought.

Same here!

 

[Bennettjh]

With all this GFZ talk, I wonder if anybody accidentally has stepped on the property or forgot they were carrying around a daycare or whatever. I know IUPUI isn't a school as far as IC states IIRC. Just a thought though. Definitely would want to GET OUT QUICK. You wouldn't necessarily get in trouble if nobody seen you doing it. Thoughts?
