How's that campus safe zone working out for ya?

As reported in the Tampa Bay Times this morning on the campus of the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL: 

"TAMPA — Authorities were searching for a man who carjacked a woman Monday morning in a parking lot on the Tampa campus of the University of South Florida.

The man approached the woman about 9:20 a.m. in Parking Lot 33, in the health sciences area of the campus, according to USF Police. The man brandished a black handgun and ordered the woman out of her car before getting in and driving off. The woman was not harmed.

USF police officers set up a perimeter around the campus to try to stop the fleeing car, police said.

Authorities were able to use a cell phone tracking system to determine that the car had been driven off campus. Police did not identify the make and model of the car.

Tampa police were called to assist in a search of surrounding neighborhoods, police said. Despite an extensive search, the car had not been found as of 11:30 a.m.

The man was described as having brown hair and wearing a white hoodie, police said.
Anyone with information about the incident was asked to call USF Police at (813) 974-2628."

Apparently no one told this person that firearms are not allowed on the campus of USF - or maybe they did!  And he was wearing a hoodie, too!

Can't be - Florida college campuses are safe zones!
