When I was in college and living in the dorms, an escaped prisoner hid out in the supply closet for a short time because some stupid head friends of mine propped the back door open (against the rules, of course). It was weird to be instructed via loudspeaker to stay in our rooms with helicopters flying all around. Wasn't that serious though as the prison is a minimum security one so it wasn't like a mass murderer or anything.
Weird, my sister just texted me that there's an escaped convict near her school in SC claiming that if the police look for him he will target the local colleges.
