ROCHESTER, Mich. — A Michigan college is using an unconventional weapon to help in an active shooter situation.
Officials at Oakland University are handing out hockey pucks to students and teachers.
The school has a no-weapons policy, so the university police chief suggested using hockey pucks to distract a shooter.
According to the Detroit Free Press, the pucks are also part of a campaign to raise funds to install interior locks on classroom doors. The pucks are imprinted with a number that people can enter on the university's website to donate money toward the new locks.
Officials say fighting with a hockey puck should be the absolute last line of defense.
