An engineering student who was also an LGBTQ activist was shot and killed by Georgia Tech campus police on Saturday night, officials said Sunday.
The school identified the victim as Scout Schultz, 21, a fourth-year engineering student from Lilburn, Georgia, who police said was armed with a knife. Schultz, president of Georgia Tech's Pride Alliance, identified as non-binary and intersex and preferred to be referred to with they/them gender pronouns, according to the alliance's website.
At a news conference Monday, Schultz"s family's attorney said the student was experiencing a "mental breakdown" on the night on the shooting.
"What was Scout doing that day? Standing there disoriented, having a mental breakdown and was shot from 20 feet away," said the attorney, L. Chris Stewart.

Police officer wasn’t shooting at this one. He was shooting at another one in the gang and they stepped in front.
As a father myself I will cut him some slack. he is dealing with the violent death of his son, what do you expect him to say? great job!
Im not disagreeing with the cops decision, they did what they felt at the time was the right call. the blame lies soley with He/She
What is the symbolism of changing a T into a U?

In the blink of an eye he went from Student-Activist to Student-inActivist.
Funny how that works.
Scot was XX
The long hair is so 1960s
Don’t care what this person wanted to do a minor in biomedical devices and a major in computer eng ain’t gonna lead to any new innovations
If you want your children to live tell them it is unwise to advance on police with anything in your hands
Knife/Gun fight
Father is likely out of his mind with grief. That, and the fact that he's likely blaming himself for his kid's problems that led up to the incident makes for good copy for all of the grief vampires in the MSM.
Minions.
But "they" is a totaled out "Rambling Wreck" now.
Just more proof that sexual deviations really are dangerous mental disorders.

Ga. Tech student shot by officer, killed on campus ^
Here's a tip, to anyone foolish enough to follow in this poor confused sod's footsteps:
If you advance at armed police, waving a knife while yelling "shoot me!", that's probably what will happen.
At least it now won’t be able to procreate. Oh, wait...
They should not have killed this kid. He was attempting suicide by cop and they were to quick to obige him.

Why is the first qualifier in the leed “engineering student”? As if the most important aspect of this animated dungheap was his major, instead of the fact that he was brandishing a knife and batsh_t crazy to boot.
[They should not have killed this kid.]
The cops could have disabled the knife. Apparently he was off his meds.
I guess 4 years being indoctrinated as an engineering stew-dent can make you go nuts.
He must not have been wearing his LGBT bullet proof shield correctly.
Now he/she/it can have a death certificate that reads died of stupidity.
Really? I’m guessing you haven’t spent much time on patrol. Most Academies train their officers on the “21 foot rule” meaning any distance less than 21 feet, deadly force is authorized. It takes roughly three seconds to cover that distance for the average person. The video is clear that the responding officers issued multiple verbal commands, and continued to back away from the subject until it was unsafe to do so. At some point, officers have not only the right, but the duty to defend themselves and the public at large. This “kid” continued to advance and brandish. Had he just stood there, maybe the ending would have been different. I grieve for the loss of life, but he chose the outcome.
