HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — Police at Northern Kentucky University say an 18-year-old man who fired a gunshot in a dormitory has been charged with attempted murder.
Campus police say the man, Timothy A. Stone, got into a fight with another man in a female student’s room in James P. Callahan Residence Hall. The Kentucky Enquirer reports that the other man, Jody Wright, an ex-boyfriend of the student, was not hurt.
Witnesses told police that Stone, who is from Cincinnati, pulled a .25-caliber pistol out during the struggle and fired. The bullet went out a window.
University Police Chief Harold Todd says Wright, also not a student, wrested the gun from Stone, and then the two men and the female student fled. Todd says Wright threw the gun in the Ohio River.
The university says the female student is facing school disciplinary charges.
Considering that it was campus police, the whole thing was probably not as bad as they say. I found campus police to be dramatic considering they are nothing more than glorified security guards–real-cop-wanna-bees.
