No shots were fired and no one was injured.
West Haven police announced Wednesday that 22-year-old William Dong was charged with illegal possession of an assault weapon and other crimes after Tuesday's scare, which led to a campus lockdown of more than four hours.
Dong is detained on $500,000 bail and faces arraignment on Wednesday. It's not clear if he has a lawyer.
Police say Dong had an assault rifle in his Toyota and the newspaper clippings at his Fairfield home. Authorities say he has permits for the handguns.
