- RT @TroyMayor: There will be some discussion withRPI about frequency,volume and content of their alert system message.(via @coreystall )
- Updated info from the news article:
- TROY -- Students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have been asked to lock their doors and stay inside while police search for the gunman police say stole up to $50,000 from a check cashing business earlier today.
- The suspect is [was - outdated now obviously] reported to be near RPI's East Campus Athletic Village football stadium, and all students in the campus alert network have been notified by phone call and text message, RPI spokesman Michael Mullaney said.
- A man in his late 20s made off with between $40,000 and $50,000 after robbing a checking cashing place just after 8:15 a.m., police said.
- Troy police said the man, dressed in black pants and a black hooded sweat shirt, walked into Regina Check Cashing, 450 Hoosick St., showed a gun to the clerk and demanded cash.
- The suspect fled on foot westbound on Hoosick Street, police said.
- The RPI alert is in effect until further notice.

- One of our grad students just saw someone resembling this man walking
- past Lally Hall. TAKE SHELTER NOW.
- 10:03 AM
- This is an RPIAlert An armed robbery occurred on Hoosic St. The perpetrator reported near ECAV/LINAC. All should shelter-in-place, that is go indoors, lock windows & doors. An all clear will be sent via RPIAlert when the situation is deemed safe

- Still going on, the guy is apparently "at large" now and still not caught.
- A person with a gun is on campus. Please stay in your offices with the doors closed, locked until the all-clear is sounded. If you have students in a lab, please advise them to stay put, as well.

- -==============Old Chat==============-
- ^^ so the paranoia sets in? how can he be near ecav and lally simultaneously?
- He can walk...He was by ECAV quite some time ago
- I would wager walking around would be quite an achievement for him, considering he probably has every troy cop looking for him...
- There's a rumor shots were fired at corner of People & Burdett. Can't confirm that though. (via @KevinMarshall, twitter)
- I'm hoping he drops the money somewhere. I'm also hoping this goes on long enough to get my bio lab cancelled
- i'm on the fourth floor of the library
- perfect viewing, pubsafe and troy pd are out there
- That link updates in real time from peoples' tweets.
- Can the admin kick some of the DICKS? Only 16 ppl allowed on here at a time
- thats normal people who forgot to change their names
- they had dogs out too
- this is more fun than sigsys
- I agree...got stuck at WRPI...
- why is everyone dicks?
- Cause they didn';t change their names
- lol why is the default dicks?
- It isnt, someone changed them
- yay wrpi
- the upstate underground!
- I'm in the vast lab in Sage
- but people are walking outside, they probably just want to get everyone back inside cause people are being nonchalant about it
- Note: This is accepted students week.
- Visiting days for today were cancelled
- Everyone who was already here for it is currently locked inside empac
- it's not accepted students week
- it's spring visiting days, there's still a ton of people here though

- Yeah, good investment...I'm happy about this one
- virginia tech, man
- no deaths yet
- This is a robber on the run, not a killing spree...Guns aren't scary. :P Ah okay Ms. :P Salmon Color Text Background.
- But there is a gun! The alert system made it very clear that we should be frightened for our lives.
- He has a gun and if he robbed a place...now he is being chased by cops...
- i'm just saying the system is in place because of virginia tech
- that's ms. salmon text background to you
- im with ms. salmon text background
- virginia tech and whatnot
- updates up top say he's near price chopper
