The words you scribbled on the ground

The release date of Coheed & Cambria's new album caused quite a stir at the University of Kansas yesterday.
The band's symbol and "10.23.07" written on the ground of the campus was mistaken for a campus shooting warning. The commotion came after a window was shot out a few weeks ago. After the graffiti appeared, rumors started flying. Police and school officials assured everyone that the campus was safe and are expecting things to go back to normal.

I think this sounds pretty ridiculous, but at the same time, you can never be so sure nowadays. Does anyone remember a time when the possibility of a school shooting was absurd? I don't, not since eighth grade...
