Police: Pizza Perp Possibly had Gun
It turned out there was no danger at all, but at that moment, everyone at Stony Brook University thought a gun toting pizza thief had escaped on campus. The event does show a trend of uneasiness among universities.

Gun scare at Stony Brook University shakes up campus
Police: Pizza perp pulls pistol.
By Lynn Hsieh
Reports of a gunman on the loose left some students confused and shaken as police and university officials sent out a series of text messages to students alerting them of the danger.
After a two hour search by police, an “all clear” message was sent to students through the campus alert system.
The suspect has not been found.
A Faculty Student Association (FSA) employee in the SAC cafeteria approached the individual, who police describe as a 5’ 9’’ male between 25 and 28 years of age with a tattoo on his right hand, after it was determine that he was trying to steal food.
President Shirley Strum Kenny told reporters in a press conference "at that point, the perpetrator showed what appeared to be a gun," Kenny said.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing the suspect fleeing the Student Activities Center (SAC) and run towards the back of Harriman Hall between the Old Chemistry buildings at around 1:30 pm.
Mario S., an exchange student, witnessed the event. He and his friends described the suspect as a black male dressed all in black with a long coat and dark boots with a red-green pizza box in his hands.
The security personnel chasing the man yelled “Stop. I won’t touch you,” Mario S. said.
Assistant Chief of Police Douglas Little described the security guard as a "greeter" who works for the Faculty Student Association, "backed off and called police."
Police arrived minutes later.

Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is a trend in web design and development that aims to facilitate collaboration, creativity and sharing between users. According to Tim O’Reilly, Web 2.0 is associated with a string of websites and user applications much different from the initial software developed in the 1980s. Web 2.0 can be differentiated from Web 1.0, the original web platform, because websites and search engines now foster collaboration and transitioned away from websites that acted as solitary information centers.
It can be characterized by websites similar to Wikipedia, eBay and BitTorrent and applications such as blogging, tagging and group participation. Ryan Singel wrote in Wired magazine that Web 2.0 is a constellation of web applications that rival the desktop applications of earlier computer software and the rise in blog publishing and self-service advertising. Web 2.0 technologies, wrote Andrew Keen in the Weekly Standard, personalizes culture to reflect us rather than the world around us.
However, there is still much debate among web users what the term Web 2.0 entails. Some users consider it a marketing buzzword while other experts believe that Web 2.0 is the second generation to the original World Wide Web.
In my perspective, Web 2.0 websites allow users to interact and comment with one another. They can do more than just retrieve information. Web 2.0 has enabled many users to comment and discuss issues across the web, participate in social networking sites and easily compare prices and products at the touch of a button. I think that Web 2.0 is not a new idea in itself; instead it is an extension of Web 1.0 and advancement in computer software. Web 2.0 has extended on earlier ideas and aspects of the Internet to facilitate larger communication among users.
In terms of the news media, I think Web 2.0 threatens traditional journalism outlets such as newspapers with the rise of citizen journalism and blogging. People may choose to ignore the world around them as they use the Internet to narrowly tailor their interests. At the same time, I believe Web 2.0 may also enhance journalism and traditional media outlets as they are forced to find new methods, perhaps through multimedia, to compete.
