An armed law officer at LSU to speak to students about cyber security and staying safe on social media triggered the hours-long lockdown and SWAT response on part of LSU's campus when someone spotted his gun and reported an armed intruder on campus, school officials said Wednesday.

The false alarm saw a major police response around Coates Hall where students planned to attend a demonstration on ways to safeguard themselves on social media. But some instead found themselves behind barricaded doors as officers swept the building for nearly two hours.

Student groups are asked to tell campus police whenever they have a law enforcement officer on campus for an event. Ballard said the school is reviewing whether the Women’s Center — the group hosting Tuesday’s event — had notified campus police.

So they knew an armed officer was coming into the building and failed to alert anyone ahead of time? Sounds about right

This kind of higgledy-piggledy rigmarole just doesn’t happen at an institution like Cornell.

I'd bet this guy's badge was visible as well since he was coming to give a presentation.

Huzzah.

Such discombobulated chicanery only exacerbates the superfluous falderal that is allowing this poppycock that is women’s education.

Hopefully someone in charge is smart enough to make this a requirement

I'm waiting for the time (real soon) when someone ends up getting hurt or worse because of these knee jerk type actions. Then the real fun will begin!
