SUNY school locked down in gun scare

SUNY-PURCHASE was on lockdown for more than two hours Sunday night after students reported a creep with a gun showed up at a barbecue on campus.

Students at the Westchester County school were told to stay inside in an 8:45 p.m. email that said a “possible armed suspect” was seen at the university before running into the woods.

No shots were fired, authorities said. It appeared early Monday that no one had been arrested.

Senior dance major Samantha Terzi lives at the Alumni Village apartments, where the barbecue was held. She said there was a commotion and then two police vehicles arrived around 8 p.m.

“People were saying (to the cops), ‘He has a gun, he has a gun,’ ” Terzi told the Daily News. “But the guy kept screaming, ‘I don’t have a gun, I don’t have a f-----g gun.’ ”

A sophomore biology student who identified herself only as Sam said she was arriving home and saw the suspect bolting into the trees.

“There was some yelling and this kid ran past me,” Sam said. “He had a gun in his hand.”

Several students said the unidentified man was acting suspiciously at the barbecue, asking for marijuana and alcohol while saying he doesn’t attend the school.

At 11:18 the university sent an email saying the “campus has been reported to be secure at this point.”
