WARNING: This is a graphic video showing police shooting a suspect. A graphic video has surfaced showing police with their guns drawn negotiating with a reported Georgia Tech student wielding a knife.
The barefoot man, who reportedly trekked through campus Saturday night brandishing the knife, refuses to comply to drop the weapon after several warnings from police.
The man can be heard several times telling police: “Shoot me!”
Police repeatedly retorted: “Drop the knife.”
After it appeared the suspect was moving aggressively toward police, an officer opened fire on the man who fell to the ground.
The college had issued a warning for students to seek shelter prior to the standoff.
UPDATE: 5:30 PM– EST Sunday
School officials report the student shot last night by police has died.
Georgia Tech identified the student as 21-year-old Scout Schultz of Lilburn.
Schultz was president of Pride Alliance at Georgia Tech, a LGBTQ activist group.
