Ball State University was on lockdown yesterday after an alert was sent out to students describing a male suspect “carrying a long rifle.”
A university spokesperson confirmed to media outlet The Tab that the campus-wide lockdown was caused by him bringing a Nerf gun to school.
Ball State student Bailey McComas told the outlet that he was just playing Humans vs Zombies.
He was reported to cops and a message was sent out that the campus was on lockdown for 15 minutes until he was found.
