Police Forced to Shoot Knife Wielding Suspect at Georgia Tech Campus after Standoff

Officers in Georgia from both the Atlanta Police Department and Georgia Tech Police were dispatched late Saturday around midnight to reports of an armed man on the Georgia Tech Campus.

At around 11:30 PM the Georgia Tech Administration sent out an emergency alert that told all students and faculty on campus to seek immediate shelter until further notice.

The emergency 911 call that came in reporters a man threatening to kill several students near the Curran Parking Deck located on campus.

Witnesses on campus say that they heard gunshots and believe the officers had engaged in a firefight with the suspect who had refused to drop his weapon.

Georgia Tech Police later confirmed that at least one of their Policeman were part of an officer involved shooting of the suspect.

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Students were advised to lock all doors and windows, and to take immediate action until further notice, but short after the emergency alert was changed to “all clear” and another Knife-Wielding was issued which told those on campus that there was no longer a security threat.

Officers were seen in images before and after the shooting of the knife wielding suspect attempting to give emergency medical treatment after they were forced to open fire on the suspect.

Law enforcement has yet to identify the suspect but some witnesses report that the perpetrator was killed by police.

Georgia Tech officials say further information will be shared pending the outcome of an investigation of the incident.

When asked about the condition of the person who was shot and whether the person was carrying a knife, Spokesperson Lance Wallace said he was unable to confirm any additional details.

I'm wonderin, if those Liberals that fought the GA Campus Carry Law passage fort 8 years and lost, ever figured that Thugs, Terrorists and Nut Jobs might also attack Liberals?

Prior to passage GA Tech Students are getting robbed at gun point almost every other day, and assaulted by area ghetto thugs. Seeking out students carrying Laptops, cellphones and etc..

Now crimes against Students by non-students are way down, about 48+/- % .

Just like other states that have allowed campus carry.
