Good luck catching a squirrel, or even keeping it cornered for long. Add the fact that rabies was a concern, and it's not that horrible a decision. Pepper spray seems like a good option, and in the heat of the moment it could seem like the best.

I'm pretty sure that it's totally illegal to try to shoot a squirrel on a school campus *NM*
