Ban Nerf guns? Campus cancels Zombies vs. Humans game after Oregon shooting

The shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon is having ramifications at college campuses nationwide, including the University of Akron that announced on Tuesday that they are canceling their Humans vs. Zombies game.

Humans vs. Zombies is a campus-wide game that involves students shooting Nerf guns at each other, reported Ohio.com.

Students already began to play the two week long game when University Police Chief Jim Weber said he asked organizers to stop because they were receiving multiple complaints.

“It’s a fun thing but not after Oregon. The timing was bad,” Weber said to Ohio.com.

The game took place across the campus but not inside buildings or parking garages and is a game students around the world play.
