Man with gun causes lockdown at Arkansas State University

RT

Arkansas State University in Jonesboro is on lockdown after a man with a gun drove onto campus near the student union. The school asked students to evacuate to the west side of the building and clear the area.  

Students have received Campus Alert text messages that say, “Man with weapon is on east side of student union. Campus lockdown immediately,” KATV reported.

The flagship campus of Arkansas State system has 14,000 students. It is located about two hours northeast of Little Rock, the state capital.

The gunman was surrounded by police just after 1:45 p.m. local time, the school tweeted. No shots were fired or injuries reported.

The incident began when the suspect drove into the center of campus with a weapon.

“He reportedly is in protest mode,” Arkansas State said in a statement.

The gunman was arrested and officers are in the process of securing his vehicle, the Jonesboro Police Department said.

The school remains locked down.

The report of an active shooter comes two days after two members of the school’s football team were arrested on drug charges. Chris Stone, a 23-year-old senior defensive end, and Tyler Trosin, 22-year-old senior receiver, were arrested at about 2 a.m. Tuesday, according to the Craighead County Sheriff’s Office. A judge found probable cause to charge the two men with felony possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia and furnishing prohibited articles, the Jonesboro Sun reported.

  1. I believe the term “Active Shooter” should be reserved for someone who is actually firing a weapon, don’t you?
    This is not the first time I have run across this term being mis-applied.

    1. Just trying to ingrain that buzz word into the sheeple. Pretty soon perhaps, anyone seen with a gun will be deemed “active shooter.”

  2. “The individual with a weapon has been surrounded by police. No shots have been fired, no reported injuries.”
    “The gunman was arrested and officers are in the process of securing his vehicle, the Jonesboro Police Department said.

    The school remains locked down.”

    WHY?????

  3. Exactly the same plot they used in 9-11
    Say something false , keep saying it
    Get it going as a buzz word or phrase
    Keep pushing it in the news
    If they tell a lie enough they believe it’s true
    And a lot of sheeple will even continue to use it or believe it to be true , even if the proof of it being false is right in thier face , they still can’t pull out from the stupid

  4. Got it from AP! And there’s no doubt it’s just an Obama spook:
    Police in Arkansas have released an audio tape in which a man tells an emergency dispatcher that he is on the Arkansas State University campus with gasoline, propane and a shotgun with only one shell.

    Jonesboro police say Brad Bartelt drove his truck onto a campus plaza in a threatening manner Thursday. On Friday, officers said Bartelt had called 911 himself.

    On the tape, the man identified as Bartelt said he didn’t intend to use any weapons but asked that officers and the news media be sent to the scene. Initially, the 911 operator didn’t know where to send first-responders.

    Bartelt said he didn’t know which buildings he was near and wasn’t familiar with the area. The operator told him that if the police couldn’t find him quickly, she wanted him to look for the name of a building and call her back

  5. “He reportedly is in protest mode,” Arkansas State said in a statement.

    It looks like a Gadsden flag on his truck.

    If this is a false-flag, that is their point. All aboard, my fellow terrorists!
