Gun Hoax at UVA at Wise!

[Jody Cussins]

Last night I was perusing FB when I came across a WJHL post that said the University of Virginia College at Wise was under lock down. The University had sent a text to all students and parents that a gunman was on campus. For everyone to lock their doors and stay down until further notice. Our neighbor then sent us a text telling us his cousin was there and hiding under her bed and texting him about what was going on. FB and twitter lit up and was on fire with parents and student frantic about all that was happening. Well, to make a long story short it came out the person who called the police was the one that mad the whole thing up! It was nothing but a HOAX! Someone told us it was on CNN but I didn't see it. Of course anything negative about a gun has to go on national news. Here is the article:

All it takes is one idiot!!!

The idiot should be expelled and charged by the police.... Maybe a stiff fine and possible jail time.....

AT 21:55 last night Greta VanSustern made a breaking news announcement to the effect that the campus was on lockdown. That's all I heard last night.
