An engineering student from Gwinnett County was fatally shot by a police officer on Georgia Techs campus Saturday night.
The GBI is investigating the incident in which the student, who has been identified by Georgia Tech spokesman Lance Wallace as 21-year-old Scout Schultz of Lilburn, was allegedly barefoot and carrying a knife.
The students legal name was Scott Shultz, GBI spokeswoman Nelly Miles said.
At least two students shared cellphone video showing the tense interaction between Schultz and Georgia Tech police officers, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Schultz yells at police to shoot and officers respond, Drop the knife! Drop the knife!" more than a dozen times.
Schultz was president of Pride Alliance at Georgia Tech.
The Georgia Tech Progressive Student Alliance said at 4 p.m. they would place flowers and memorabilia on 8th street in front of West Village.

Obviously, we need more barefoot control.
Sympathies to the family.
It chose to die. Now an officer has to live with that the rest of their life.
GT Progressive Student Alliance: “**Please remember: Scout uses They/Them pronouns.”
I think we’re getting closer to the root of the issue.
Tonto on the other hand meant stupid or crazy
Yup
This is the type of incident that can erupt in violent protests.
An incident that provides plenty of room for debate on justification on the part of the Police.
The Commies only exploit cases that are not clear. They don’t exploit cases where the Cop is clearly wrong. Only the ones where they can infer some bias or conspiracy.
It will or would have been worse if the “student” were a black trans-gender.
I'm convinced the transgender community are demon-possessed.
The engineering profession is spared.
” Schultz was president of Pride Alliance at Georgia Tech. 100% lunatic”
Wonder if this fruit was antifa? If so, its a start.
Some would say he was on the road to becoming a Transgender.
Even still, the police had little choice but to act.
Was he not carrying a weapon, in addition to not following loudly repeated orders by the cops?
Hey you! Out of the gene pool!
Sorry, but this could have been dealt with much better. No tasers issued to the cops? It looked like the trigger was pulled by the officerette. As Harry Callahan would say...’Stylish’.
“Now, does this person look crazy to you?”
Dude better do something with those long flowing locks before working on anything with moving parts. The scalp would make a good photo reminder in safety manuals.
There will be no protests. The dude — or whatever you call it — was white.
bttt

I wouldn’t be to sure about that.
