Kind of a strange "protest" to conduct alone, in the bathroom. Story even says none of the witnesses intially knew he was carrying a gun.

Much more likely that this was a negligent discharge on top of illegally carrying a firearm in a restricted area. How to cover for oneself under such dubious circumstances: blame Trump, of course.

Agree.

He teaches sociology. That explains a great deal.

Wait a sec.

He was not scheduled to teach any classes this semester.

He's still on the payroll.

WTF does he do? How do they justify his pay?

How many professors are on the payroll and don't teach?

Probably more then we know.

Time to drain the swamp at the local level.

You guys are harsh. Poor guy. Someone needs to show him some solidarity, by shooting him in the other arm.

His aim was off--he should have tried center mass. A bigger gun would have also been good.

Hopefully his health insurance doesn't cover his ER visit - intentionally inflicted harm and all that.

I long for the day that I get to meet a conservative sociology professor. Having been involved (off and on) with higher education as a student and associate professor for better than three decades, I have yet to meet one. Perhaps one day....

I knew several at the university I attended, although Criminal Justice (mostly conservative) was a subset of the Sociology department (mostly liberal) at this school, so maybe that's cheating...

You are correct! I was looking for a different one, and mistakenly posted that one.

My vote is that he planed a suicide but chickened out and settled for self harm.
