A two-hour lockdown at Alfred University was lifted Tuesday after police realized the potential gunman was actually a student carrying a toy NERF gun.
The student was playing a tag-like game called "Zombies vs. Humans," said school spokeswoman Sue Goetschius. NERF guns, used in the game to tag opponents, launch darts or balls made of foam. The campus — about 80 miles south of Rochester in Allegany County — went on lockdown when a university staff member reported a suspicious person to the campus' Department of Safety and Security between 3 and 3:30 Tuesday afternoon, Goetschius said.
