Loyola University on Edge Over Prop Gun

A graduate of Loyola University Chicago was arrested Monday after he was observed on the Rogers Park campus with a disabled gun he had signed out of the theater department, Chicago police said.

The incident occurred about 2:20 p.m. when a student in the school's student union reported that the man was "displaying a prop gun used in theatrical productions," Officer JoAnn Taylor said.

The man had signed the .38-caliber Smith & Wesson, disabled with lead poured into its barrel, out from the prop room of the theater department, police said.
