"In an emergency crime alert posted at 4:47 p.m. on the university's Web site, emergency officials said the man, described as a white male, 6 feet tall, wearing a black Pink Floyd T-shirt with a rainbow prism on it – was seen in the area of Appalachian South Apartments and the Hill Street area."

He should be easy to find at App.

Why don't any of these guys use a sniper rifle anymore?

If you go in with pistols and shotguns, you're obviously gonna get caught

But if you find a good spot and have a silencer, it could be months before you get caught, if ever

You could really rack up the kills that way

whoever is doing the appstate.edu updates needs some spellcheck....

the whole thing seems a bit flimsy. This is all because someone was seen with a small black handgun? what you want to bet it was either a prank or just someone dressing up or a paint ball gun or something?

3/3/2008 6:00:05 PM

Yes. He was also wearing a ski mask. Its also pretty hard to confuse an outfitted paintball gun and a handgun in broad day light.

"Silencers" only exist in hollywoodland

Decent suppressors arent that hard to come by however. Especially in a place like Boone, a good suppressor would do wonders, given the terrain and density of the town.

i went to App. we took a Homeland Security class where we developed an entire plan for carrying out a terrorist attack in Boone. boy that'll never come back to haunt them...

3/3/2008 6:13:24 PM

that sounds like a cool class

so...anything new?

3/3/2008 6:16:22 PM

this is bullshit.

it seems like there is a college shooting every week now

3/3/2008 6:20:39 PM

i'm kind of waiting for our turn, with all the majors we have that the loner crazies go into its bound to happen

you think?

3/3/2008 6:23:13 PM

with all the nerds at our school its bound to happen to us, we should start taking defensive measures

3/3/2008 6:24:14 PM

Your bro-in-law is there too. Doesn't fit the description though.

Cell phones are pretty beat up right now. I can't get a text message though.

The "gunman" was a guy breaking into an apartment, getting startled by the owner, and fleeing.

Students and personnel remaining on campus may leave with caution. Classes for the evening of March 3, 2008 remain cancelled, classes for March 4, 2008 will be held as usual. All personnel should report to work March 4 as scheduled. No further sightings of the suspect have been reported, but university and Boone police will be on alert through the evening and anyone seeing a suspicious person or activities should call 262-8000 or 911.

3/3/2008 6:37:05 PM

figured thats what would happen

3/3/2008 6:42:19 PM

i was playing tennis for 2 hours right beside where the guy was spotted, i was wondering why there was 3 choppers overhead the entire time and police on every street and corner

3/3/2008 7:28:07 PM

it was a robbery.
therefore, not a "gunman", it was a "man with a gun". And not even confirmed to be a real gun at that....

Quote :

"A robbery attempt late Monday afternoon led to a lockdown on the Appalachian State campus and police are still looking for a fugitive gunman. Around 3 p.m., ASU student Matthew Haney came home to his apartment on Hill Street behind the Holmes Convocation Center to find a masked man trying to steal his television. Haney said the gunman wore a black mask, black Pink Floyd T-shirt, dark jacket, red and green tennis shoes and blue jeans. The gunman pointed a small, black pistol at Haney and both men fled. The gunman ran into the woods and Haney drove quickly to the apartment’s management office to make a police report."
