GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The University of Florida is prepared for all sorts of disasters. Even zombies.
A disaster recovery exercise that explains how the school could respond to an outbreak of the undead is posted on a UF e-Learning Support Services Web site. The site also contains other disaster response plans for events such as hurricanes or pandemics.
James McDonald, a prominent adviser to wealthy families as chief executive of investment management group Rockefeller, died of a single gunshot wound Sunday, local authorities said Tuesday.

A Johns Hopkins University student armed with a samurai sword killed a man who broke into the garage of his off-campus residence early Tuesday, a Baltimore police spokesman said. According to preliminary reports, a resident of the 300 block of E. University Parkway called police about a suspicious person, department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. An off-duty officer responded about 1:20 a.m. to the area with university security, according to Guglielmi. They heard shouts and screams from a neighboring house and found the suspected burglar suffering from a nearly severed hand and laceration to his upper body, he said. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Based on the initial investigation, the student killed the man with only one strike of the sword, according to Guglielmi. The medical examiner will make the final determination, he said. The student told police that he heard a commotion in the house and went downstairs armed with the sword, Guglielmi said. He saw the side door to the garage had been pried open and found a man inside, who lunged at the student. There was no indication that the suspected burglar was armed, however, according to Guglielmi. Burglars had already stolen two laptops and a Sony PlayStation from the student's home Monday, Guglielmi said.
