911 Called After Photographer’s Tripod Mistaken for Machine Gun




Police in body armor showed up at an office building in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, yesterday after someone called 911 to report a gunman holding a machine gun. Turns out it was a photographer holding a tripod.

ABC News reports that officers responded to the 11 a.m. call by searching the Griest Building floor by floor for the suspected gunman. They soon found the female photographer and her tripod, which was perhaps confused with a 6-barreled minigun.
Industrial Resolution, a software company in the building, posted a photo on Facebookshowing the police with the photographer.

On the same note... This recently made its way across the internets. I'm surprised it didn't show up here:

Are you calling "repost"? If so, you can take the whole pile of cards, because I'm not bluffing.

A different photo of that came out several years ago... It seemed a natural for the thread here, but at the same time, I kinda hoped it never showed up.

That is strangely disturbing. A mutation of a mugwump?

That needs to be burned to ashes and it's creator put on meds.
