Students and staff members at Farmingdale State College on Long Island were told to shelter in place Wednesday while police investigated a report that someone was assembling a rifle in a school parking lot.
Police said the call came in at about 9:40 a.m. The man was located just off campus and police said he did not have a weapon -- only the light saber.
College spokeswoman Kathryn Coley says the rifle was actually a "Star Wars" toy.
The man was not arrested or charged in the incident.
