After police swarmed part of the UW-Madison campus in search of a suicidal man who claimed he had a weapon, students were out and about Tuesday night but had the incident on their minds as the university sent out e-mails asking students and staff to take extra precautions.
Arron Lokrantz, an 18-year-old freshman, said he first heard about the scare through an e-mail sent by UW-Madison police to his WiscMail account.
