Ga. Tech cops slay student LGBTQ leader

GEORGIA TECH campus police shot and killed a barefoot engineering student heavily involved in LGBTQ activism in a tense scene captured on video.

The campus police received a 911 call “of a person with a knife and a gun” at 11:17 p.m. Saturday, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

The victim, 21-year-old Scout Schultz, was seen walking toward police and ignored numerous orders to drop what was believed to be a knife.

“Shoot me!” Schultz shouted about a minute before the shooting.

“Nobody wants to hurt you,” an officer can be heard saying in video recorded by a witness.

Schultz was shot once and crumpled to the ground, later dying at a hospital.

It’s unclear if police ever recovered a gun. A metal multitool with a blade was seen near the scene.

The Lilburn, Ga., native was president of the campus’ Pride Alliance, a student organization for LGBTQ students and allies. Schultz used gender-neutral pronouns in self-references and identified as bisexual, nonbinary and intersex.
