The institution in Maryland was placed on lockdown after a former student made threats online that appeared as though they were on campus, a source said.
A law enforcement officer shot a student at the U.S. Naval Academy on Thursday during a lockdown that was prompted by online threats from someone who had been kicked out of the institution, a source said.
The shooting on the Annapolis, Maryland, campus occurred after the midshipmen, which is what all students at the academy are called, mistook a responding law enforcement officer for a threat and struck the officer with a parade rifle used for training, the source said.
The student the law enforcement officer shot was hospitalized and is expected to be OK, the source said.
OK so if I am reading that correctly… the student pumped the officer in the face/ribcage with the butt of a non-functional rifle. So the cop shot the student.
Yes. But it is worth noting the student did not know he was a cop
That student fucking earned his war story. “Yeah I cracked a cop in the face with a rifle and then he shot me but I survived because the cop was a pussy”
