Alert law librarian at Louisville's Brandeis U. averts potential tragedy

This librarian deserves a medal for preventing what may have turned into yet another on-campus shooting rampage reports the Louisville Courier-Journal (with a hat tip to Above the Law for cluing me into the story).  According to the paper, a former Brandeis student, who was banned from campus last December, entered the law library this morning carrying two concealed guns and ammo.  An alert law library staff member recognized the person as a blacklisted student and called the police who arrested the suspect without incident.  The ex-student has been charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon and criminal trespass.
