Princeton University's Public Safety Department says there's no gunman on the Ivy League campus.
The school's Web site and alert system advised people around 11 a.m. to stay inside after a report of a male with what appeared to be a handgun near Dod Hall dormitory.
But it turned out to be one of those nut-on-campus-with-toy-gun things instead. Police and security guards received the call about a gunman near Dod Hall around 11 a.m. and set up barricades in response; the all-clear went out not long after.
Graduation Day was Monday (Katie Couric spoke! The corpse of Woodrow Wilson spun!), so there weren't as many people on campus as there might have been a few days earlier. No idea what was up with the toy-gunman -- police have apprehended "four non-student juveniles," one of whom was toy-packing.
An all-clear was issued around 11:25 a.m. Police continue to investigate.
It was not clear how many students remained on campus because graduation took place Tuesday.
