CCSU Lockdown UPDATE: Suspect Identified As David Kyem, 21, Charged With Breach Of Peace; Incident A 'Misunderstanding?' (PHOTOS)

Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) is investigating an incident on Monday after reports of an alleged gunman lead to a campus lockdown just before noon.

A suspect was taken into custody around 2:30 p.m., and the lockdown ended at 3:15 p.m., according to multiple reports. The suspect has been identified as David Kyem, son of CCSU professor Peter Kyem.

The school released the following statement on their Facebook account:

"CCSU announces that the suspect in the campus incident of November 4, 2013 has been identified as CCSU student David Kyem of Newington, CT. He is identified as a 21-year-old senior who is a resident of James Hall. He has been charged with breach of peace and will be released this evening on $1000 bail bond. He is the son of CCSU Professor of Geography Peter Kyem. The investigation is continuing, and as more details are confirmed more information will be forthcoming."

Peter Kyem told NBC Connecticut the situation was a "misunderstanding," explaining his son was wearing a Halloween costume. David had reportedly attended a Halloween party at another University over the weekend and did not bring a change of clothes, according to multiple reports.

"I think people saw him and mistook him for a gunman," Peter Kyem told NBC Connecticut. "They are all plastic materials, the mask and everything."

A news conference was held at 4 p.m. where the CCSU president and authorities addressed the media.

"Just before 12 noon today CCSU was notified of a suspicious man carrying a weapon or weapons," said Jack Miller, CCSU President, during a news conference.

"Everybody was brave and they were calm," Miller added. "All systems worked as the University hoped it would."

During the lockdown, students were told to barricade themselves in a room, away from windows and doors. Students were told to follow direct orders from law enforcement officials only and to not answer knocks at their door from unknown persons.
