Replica weapon behind Texas A&M scare

[Updated at 7:43 p.m. ET] Authorities said there was no danger at Texas A&M University
after a report of a gunman on campus Thursday turned out to be a person with a replica weapon.
A partial lockdown and campus-wide alert system went into effect after a bus driver spotted what he described as a man carrying what looked like an AK-47, officials said.
The alert was issued at 4 p.m. CT. It asked those on campus to "seek safe shelter until further notice."

* Update* Code Maroon reports all clear. Person with replica weapon identified. No danger, resume normal activity.
A&M police say the man was carrying all plastic M-16 training rifle.
wrong. it was an ak-47.
He should have carried something more deadly, perhaps something that looks like an air craft carrier or a nuclear bomb!
Why not carry something less recognizable – like an Uzi or Tomahawk missile?
I'm sure there is an Aggie joke in here somewhere.
