An armed man who burst into a classroom at Elizabeth City State University was role-playing in an emergency response drill, but neither the students nor assistant professor Jingbin Wang knew that.
"I was prepared to die at that moment," Wang said Tuesday.
The Friday drill, in which a mock gunman threatened panicked students in the American foreign policy class with death, prompted university officials to apologize this week to Wang and offer counseling to faculty and students.
The mock intruder, a campus police officer, carried a red plastic model gun, according to a university news release.
At one point, Wang said, the man threatened to kill the student who had the lowest grade point average. Wang offered to let him sit in his class, he said, but the man rejected attempts at negotiation.
The intruder instructed Wang to close the door and then ordered the seven students to line up along the wall.

Wow, they arn't trying to scare the american people into submission at all eh. The more scared people are, the more freedoms they can take away. I wouldn't be suprised to see more of this. Maybe some fake terrorist attacks to show how unprepared people are, and how we must submit to Homeland Security some more. We live in the age of fear.
