Students mock Vegas shootings

THE University of Exeter is investigating after students were pictured on a night out wearing jackets emblazoned with swastikas and messages mocking the Las Vegas massacre.

The students are believed to have been attending a social event associated with Camborne School of Mines society, the university’s geoscience and mining faculty.

They were pictured wearing tabards plastered with jokes including a comment about “floor 32”, believed to be a reference to the hotel suite used by the Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock. The jibes come less than a week after 58 people were killed in the US city.

A University spokesman said it had a “zero-tolerance policy towards racist, misogynist or similarly highly offensive behaviour”.
