Curling Iron causes lock down at New Jersey University

Monmouth University students and staff were told to shelter in place for over 4 hours late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Reacting to a report of a possible gun spotted in campus. Law Enforcement began the lock down at 9:15PM. Then continued the shelter in place at 1:05 Thursday Morning. Stating that "there was no evidence of shots fired." About a half hour later the shelter in place order was lifted. As law enforcement officials stated: "An elevated police presence remains." After many more hours the President of the university notified students via e-mail that the person thought to be holding a gun was actually holding a curling iron. It was perfectly understandable to be cautious when the report first came in. However, keeping students on edge long after officials knew there was no gun is inexcusable.
