Gunman Robs English Class

January 16, 2009 RSS Feed Print

A gunman wearing a wig robbed an English class at LeMoyne-Owen College in Memphis Thursday morning, the Associated Press reports. The school's president says 18 students were in the class when a man with a handgun told them to toss their purses and wallets on the floor.

Classes were canceled for the rest of the day, and the school was on lockdown briefly after the incident. Police made no immediate arrests.

I cant believe someone would actually do that to a class or matter of fact a school. This man should be put behind bars. This person probably didnt go to shool or he didnt like it.Probably he was one of the students who went there and had to revisit it to see how it was doing but found themselves robbing the school instead. I actually cant believe someone would do that.
