Better safe than sorry, right? Miami Dade College's Kendall Campus was put on lockdown Wednesday morning after an umbrella in a bag was mistaken for a rifle.
According to Miami Herald, on Wednesday, around 9:14 am someone reported someone on a bicycle with a "military-style" backpack, carrying what appeared to be a rifle. As a precaution, the campus was put on lockdown, and everyone was sent to shelter at a secure location while Miami-Dade police searched the area.
Officers saw that the person had an umbrella, not a gun, and the "all clear" was given, Juan Mendieta, the college's communications director, said.
