Breaking News 5/16/07 2:30pm: LAPD is in the residential neighborhood west of campus searching for an individual who may have a gun. A perimeter is set up at Ophir and Landfair and Strathmore and Landfair. (Also near Strathmore and Gayley). Individuals in the area are being asked to shelter in place. Others will not be permitted to enter the area. People are being asked to avoid those streets. At this time we have no additional information on the circumstances of the incident leading to this situation.

So yeah. I'm going back to bed. Part II of the Career Advice article coming tomorrow. I'm done for the day.
