- UR Suspect Confesses/ Lunacy In The News
Longtime readers know that your faithful reporter resides in Richmond, Virginia and nearby our home the James River snakes its way through the city. We can practically see it from here and we can definitely hear the trains that run up and down its banks.
The University of Richmond is also nearby and we take walks over there. There are lots of photos from it in this blog. And this past week there was a strange person over there in a costume who shut the place down for several hours.
I was sitting here typing away when Beth came up with the news. “Guess what!”.
It’s hard to tell what is about to invade my consciousness when I hear that phrase. But I could hear the helicopters up there and so I had a feeling it was going to be pretty good.
“There’s a guy with a gun running around U of R”.
This is not what we want to hear here in Virginia. We have had more than our share of this sort of tragedy.
Fortunately in this case it was not a lethal situation. A 19 year old dishwasher is out on $10,000 bond after confessing to the crime.
Here is what reportedly happened. A library employee “told police that (a male in a fake beard and sheriff’s jacket) stated to her that he was a police officer and that he had heard that people were fornicating in the library and that he needed to spend the night.”
Police locked down the university after confirming that witnesses had seen the intruder with a gun which later proved to be a pellet gun.
This is so ridiculous. Can you imagine?
I wonder if there really is stuff happening in the library? Do you think they will let me take some photos in there?
