Announcement just came over the load speaker in the library.

"While we can't force you to stay in the building, we advise everyone to head to the higher floors of the building and get comfortable. We are not sure how long until this will be resolved."

Dumb cunt, that first commenter. Wow. In the exact same post it says to stay in...really? On second thought, yes. You and only you should go outside. Go frolic. Holy fucking shit.

Stay safe, Chino. Don't be a hero. I mean you're clearly not a hero. But don't try. :heart

I don't see any signs of state police, just campus and New Britain police. I'm assuming that means no shots fired.

I think Justin is along the right track, but I don't think just any random person should be allowed to.  It should be someone with authority, like security, principal, teacher...but I won't argue the point further.  It's just my opinion. 


I'm more concerned about our buddy here being safe!!

I'm on the opposite corner of campus. I don't have a view of that building.

Everything is beyond this arrow, but you can see a deserted campus. As I type this I am hearing sirens for the first time. More people must be on the way.

Dude, seriously, stay away from the windows.  The updates are cool and all, but not nearly as important as your safety.  I know the "action" is pretty far away, but stray bullets can travel long distances.

On a side note, I agree with Tio. What a fucking dumb comment to post right after they specifically say to stay inside.
"Stay inside your building!"

I always thought the glass with the wires through it was bullet proof? At least that what a professor at WCSU told me.

It just occurred to me. This is the second Connecticut state university I've been to where I've had to partake in a lock down due to firearms on campus.

Not necessarily, no.  The wire makes it shatter proof--i.e., if something smashes into it, it cracks and breaks, but you don't get huge shards of glass flying everywhere.  That wouldn't stop a bullet from going throught it.  Also, "bullet proof" glass has its limits.  How bullet proof it is is dependent on its rating, and is no guarantee that it will stop certain types of rounds fired by certain types of guns.  I don't know the specifics, but am just saying that "bullet proof" doesn't necessarily mean you are 100% safe.

I remember a Mythbusters episode about that, where Adam was giving Jamie shit for saying their protective glass was bullet-proof, where however one gun's projectile went straight through it. Jamie in his stoic manner just calmly replied "it was bullet-proof for the guns we were testing at that time. For this type, it is not."

Yeah, "bullet proof" is practically impossible.  "Bullet resistant" is more accurate.
