Sociology professor shoots himself to 'protest Trump'

A 911 call was made after several CSN employees and at least one student saw Bird stumble out of the bathroom, bleeding, before he collapsed,

...professor emeritus Mark J. Bird, who shot himself on August 28 in a bathroom at the College of Southern Nevada...

Was it a gun free zone? If so, how could this have happened? It's so confusing!

Great idea but he shot himself in the arm. He really needs to work on his aim.

We need to start a go fund me page to buy this guy a .50 cal desert eagle. That .22 is a pea shooter in comparison..

No need; just loan him one.

Seems doubtful. I suspect he arranged it to look deliberate, when, as a liberal, he was probably just trying to figure out how a gun works.
