I was very curious about this, the e-mail was sent out to students around 1PM today, I just saw it and was curious as to what happened, since it doesn't mention the man doing anything illegal so it could be they thwarted an attempted crazed killer, or some guy was just OC'ing down the street. The campus police/security non-emergency number is 804-523-5219. I called and spoke with somebody and asked what was going on and he wasn't able to provide much information, aside from saying that the man was taken into custody by Henrico Police and that he was on Parham road and never entered the campus. I asked if the man had done or said anything suspicious or threatening, he told me that he was not sure why he was carrying a gun but that there where no longer any safety threats. He referred me to Henrico Police for more information I plan on calling them later today or tomorrow to see if they can shed more light on the situation.
I also found something interesting on the JSRCC website while looking around, they have a "Behavioural Intervention Team", and list what you should do if you see something specific and what should cause you to report a student to them. For example if somebody you know has recently tried to obtain weapons, you should contact 911 or Campus Police immediately...

Has anybody heard anything else about this?
