For the second time in less than a year, the University of Miami’s Coral Gables campus was put on a brief lockdown after police suspected an armed man was on the loose. The latest incident occurred today, according to CBS4, and just like last time, the man was caught and police discovered the weapon wasn’t a real gun.

Police responded to reports of an armed man and quickly apprehended the suspect near the school’s main entrance at the intersection of Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Sanford Drive. They discovered the weapon was actually a toy, and police say the suspect is an undergrad at the school.

In late November last year, the campus was put on lockdown following reports of a man with a gun. That suspect shot two female students in the arm with a BB gun in a parking lot near the school’s gym.
