NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — An armed man was spotted on the campus of Central Connecticut State University on Monday, prompting a schoolwide lockdown and warnings for students to stay away from windows as police SWAT teams swarmed the area. The university declared a campus emergency late Monday morning, and several hours later its website continued urging students to remain inside buildings. University spokesman Mark McLaughlin said, “Somebody was seen either with a gun or was thought to have a gun.” The area around a 400-student dorm was the focus of the police search, but by mid-afternoon authorities were allowing students to leave the building in small groups. Jordan Governale, a 20-year-old junior from Farmington, said he walked by a man carrying a backpack and with a sword and sheath strapped to his back.

For the five seniors, Jacqui Seidel, Mindy Marx, Kylee Baker, Lauren Grant and Catie Fredrich, it was the last weekend game they would ever play at home. “We did our best to take the sadness out of it and we want to celebrate this season,” Seidel said.
