Georgia Tech student with knife killed by campus police

 

ATLANTA - Campus police shot and killed a Georgia Tech student who they say was advancing on officers with a knife.

 

Scout Schultz, 21, refused to put down a knife and kept moving toward the officers early Sunday outside a dormitory, according to a statement from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, using the given name, Scott. The fourth-year computer engineering student used the name Scout and preferred the pronouns "they" and "them" rather than "him" or "her."

 

"I'm bisexual, nonbinary and intersex," Schultz wrote in a Pride Alliance profile.

 

WSB-TV reported that the item, still on the ground when the station arrived, appeared to be a half-open multi-tool without any tools extended.

 

Officers tried repeatedly to get Schultz to drop the knife, but he refused to do so, according to the GBI.
