Former Student Terrorizes Baptist College

[Jerome]

Springfield, Missouri.: Man dressed as clown caused campus-wide lockdown at Baptist Bible College

"Police say Robertson pointed the [toy] gun at a staff accountant and pulled the trigger."

"detectives interviewed Robertson and he told them that he had been a student and wants to be re-admitted. A judge set Robertson's bond at $20,000. If he's convicted of making a terrorist threat, he could receive a prison sentence up to seven years."

Why would someone do this? I am so thankful that it was a fake gun and that nobody was hurt but what kind of joke is this? It's not funny.
In the article it states he was a former student and wants to get back in... I would not be letting him back after this stunt.

He probably wanted attention or needs some type of psychological help. It sure doesn't sound like the type of thing someone who was wanting to re-enroll in the school would do. Thank God it was a fake gun.

After all that has been going on with school shootings something like this is going to be taken very seriously. Even if he was only doing it for attention he had to know that he would be arrested. Even though it may have been done to get noticed the person having the gun pointed at them didn't know it wasn't really. Imagine how they felt when he pulled the trigger. For those few seconds that they thought their life was about to end.

But what if he decides to bring a real one.

He can't bring a real one. It is a "Gun Free Zone." A "Gun Free Zone" sign is magic. It makes all guns magically disappear when the criminal walks past the sign.
