Boston film student sparks terror alert
BOSTON, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- A Boston film student trying to recreate an armed sequence from the film, "The Matrix," instead created a full-blown terror response and faces charges.
Police received a 911 call about people dressed in camouflage and wearing masks on an apartment rooftop, pointing guns toward the street.
Alex Stinson, a 21-year-old student at the New England Institute of Art and three others were arrested and six other people were being sought, the Boston Globe said.
Stinson told officers he had alerted both Boston and Brookline, Mass., police of his filming plans but neither force had any record of such a call, the newspaper said.
The group was charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace, and Stinson will also miss his Monday deadline for the school project, the Globe said.
