Josh interviewed by NEws8 saw someone in a similar costume over the weekend on campus adn off for halloween
Good link, thanks. They do have closed captioning on that channel, I have it on, and, well, it sure can't keep up with the talking, but you could probably glean a bit of info from cc when you are at work.

That is what I am starting to think.. I have heard he was upset with his girlfriend and went back to the dorm.. Kids in college love Halloween and I've had a monkey costume run through a class chasing a banana during lecture time...
It looks like it is headed that way to me.
3 in custody, investigation still going, investigating to see if it was a Halloween prank or misunderstanding. (Guess they still need to ask the 3 some questions and search their dorm rooms?)

Thanks, Hope32. :seeya:
Ima go ahead and say "mmm hmmm".
That whole thing about not changing clothes for 3 days sounds like some X or meth and I find it hard to believe that just the "costume" would send the campus into a frenzy.
IMO that he was behaving erratically and maybe even encouraging the perception that he was some danger to the campus.
Also, what's up with the roomies getting taken in, too?

""Nicholas Federici, a student and former police officer, said he saw a man with a sword and a handgun walking toward James Hall. The man was wearing green Army fatigues, black knee pads and some kind of mask, he said, and he was carrying a backpack that was "very full."
"I heard him drop his bag," he said which made a noise he described as "a big thud."
Federici, a former police officer, followed from about 10 feet and called it in to police. An officer arrived quickly, he said.
Students who are familiar with the man who was taken into custody said he is a senior at Central. They think the matter was a misunderstanding that the outfit and weapons that caused alarm might have been part of a Halloween costume, they said.
A friend of the man's drove him to an Army Navy store Thursday, Halloween, to buy the clothing, and some students saw the senior wearing it at a party that night, the students said.
They said they don't know why he was wearing it today."
Federici needs some student orientation lessons or something, IMO.

If its a costume, what was this guy thinking? You can't start running through a campus with guns, fake or not. But now they're saying they didn't find a weapon? Thoroughly confused over here.

It was toys, not weapons. (As I thought it would be.) Not certain why this young man is charged with anything or why he had to pay bail though. Three days at a Halloween party is not unusual on any college campus. That is just a weekend party.
