Suspicious person pointing and presenting firearms at a group of students
Around midnight on March 3, the Clemson University Police Department responded to a report of an armed individual near Lightsey Bridge.
A group of students called in the report after an Uber in a white SUV pulled up to them with a pistol. The driver had pulled the handgun from the glove box and pointed it at them through the window. The students ran, ducked and crawled to Lightsey.
The driver assured them that it was only “a joke, it’s just a prank” and that the orange tip on the pistol was a toy.
According to the driver, a group of students ran away laughing, and only one appeared to be frightened. He said that the entire event lasted about eight seconds.
The driver said that he no longer possessed the toy gun.
