A paintball player heading to a game apparently triggered a campus-wide scare at UC Irvine this afternoon when he was seen walking near campus in camouflage with what looked like a gun.
University officials now believe the weapon was nothing more dangerous than a paintball gun, spokesman Tom Vasich said. “We’re trying to find this student, who has gone off campus to play paintball, as the (person) the call came in about,” Vasich said shortly after 4 p.m.

"Why should law-abiding American taxpayers be forced to sacrifice the education of their own children in order to fund the education of lawbreakers?"
