A University of North Texas police officer shot and killed a student who allegedly threatened him with an ax early Sunday.
The student was identified as Ryan McMillan, who had celebrated his 21st birthday Sunday. University spokeswoman Kelley Reese told the Dallas Morning News. McMillan was a sophomore transfer student from Fort Worth studying pre-hospitality.
UNT spokeswoman Margarita Venegas says police responded about 1 a.m. to a report that someone was breaking car windows in a parking garage about two blocks from campus. KDFW reported that university police were asked to respond to the situation because local police in the town of Denton were busy handling other calls.

Must be Motel/Hotel management.
McMillan was a sophomore transfer student from Fort Worth studying pre-hospitality.
Oh the irony!
Yes, UNT has a big hotel-management program that is sponsored by Hilton. Or was when I was at UNT back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and Regan was President.
What ever it is, he flunked his practicum.
“pre-hospitality?”
Cheaper to get the Velvet Jones home study course “How da be a Pimp”.
I was in a conversation with a veteran from back North this weekend.
He told me campuses in NY State now have campus cops who have arrest authority off-campus, because the response time with the county and state troopers is so bad, the campus cops are the closest ones.
It seems as if he might have celebrated his 21st birthday by mixing alcohol with pills.
“Pre-hospitality” — probably a WalMart Greeter In Training providing hospitality before the customer actually enters the store.
Or could be like Pre-Med, just slightly less challenging.
Possibly, and this is tragic. What a waste.
That can't be right. His name wasn't Patel.
I guess Val Jarrett thinks we need axe control now, too.
I suspect that in pre-hospitality you start at the bottom, in the kitchen. Loading the dish washer racks and hauling the the garbage out to the dumpster. Fries and making change doesn’t happen until grad school.
Forgive my ignorance but WTH is “pre-hospitality?”
Well, I certainly hope you ain’t axin me. Cauz I ain’t got no I D.
Yes, it is.
“There’s going to be a gun fight? Hang on a moment — I’ll go get my axe.”
“I guess Val Jarrett thinks we need axe control now, too”
Has anyone axed her about that?
That was my question, too. And why is that a college major?
Good lord! Were the dinos still around then? I thought they passed back when Eisenhower left office.
