A woman holding a toy gun in front of a class full of 139 students in Angell Lecture Hall forced an evacuation and police presence Nov. 2.Nakula Legaros, a 34-year-old Burlington resident, entered a chemistry class scheduled to start at 8:30 a.m. on a Friday morning, professor Steve Flemer stated in the official UVM police report.Legaros then told students to be quiet because it was disrespectful to talk when the professor was in the room, Flemer stated.When Flemer asked Legaros to leave the room, he stated that she became agitated, swearing and yelling at the class.She was yelling at Flemer, saying, Im pregnant and I dont know how I got pregnant; I dont have family, sophomore Julie Accardo said. She was screaming [and] kept saying to call the cops on her. Then she started singing, so the professor left to go call the police.Once Flemer left the room to call the authorities, Legaros pulled out a green plastic gun and started shooting it in the air, yelling bang, bang, Accardo said.I was completely and utterly in shock, first-year Helen Dawson stated in the police report. I walked out of the hall with the crowd of people shaking, terrified, still practically in shock, not sure what to think of the situation that just occurred.When Legaros pulled out the gun, students dropped to the ground, gasped or ran out of the room, first-year Molly OBrien told police.I was actually scared this time, first-year Lillian Van-Dyke told police. It was very chaotic. I wasnt sure what else she might have in her bag.Police Services found Legaros making a purchase at a vendor truck on University property shortly after the incident, Capt. Tim Bilodeau said.Obviously UVM police takes anyone with any kind of a weapon pretty seriously since there are plenty of weapons that are real that look fake as well, because of the different colorings they have now, Bilodeau said.Officer Christiana Collins stated in the police report that, once apprehended, Legaros said she had been told that when she needed help, she should produce her gun, pretend to shoot it and the police would come.In a Facebook post from the day before the incident, a person who calls herself Nakula Legaros stated that she felt totally alone.Seriouslyy..ca.t take much more, the Facebook post stated. about to break..all alone..as usual…what a f ing crazy world…this is the first time im praying for me..becausr to tell truth i have not even handful of true friends…sendimg out sos!Howard Mental Health Crisis had been called on Legaros behalf, but Legaros said she would not talk to them, the police report stated.Legaros attended court the day of her apprehension, but officials dropped all the charges against her, Bilodeau said.They didnt consider the charges because they felt she was in need of a referral to mental health services, he said.In an email notification that was sent to all UVM students, Counseling and Psychiatry Services (CAPS) said they would be offering help to anyone affected by the situation.Directly after the occurrence, Accardo said she was shaken up enough to use counseling services.The text [alert] about the toy gun seemed like a joke, but being in that classroom was really terrifying, she said. If youre in a classroom, youre like fish in a barrel. You dont want to be the first person to leave because you dont know whats going to happen.
