And in Atlanta, Georgia, police officers arrested three people on riot charges Monday evening as they clashed with students at Georgia Tech over the police killing of the president of a gay and transgender student group last Sunday. Video of the killing shared online shows officers ordering 21-year-old student Scout Schultz to drop a knife, as Schultz refuses to comply, at one point shouting, “Shoot me!” After a brief standoff, one of the officers then kills Schultz with a single shot to the heart. Schultz had dialed 911 to report a man with a knife and gun, though Schultz’s family says the student was armed only with a small multipurpose tool and was having a mental health crisis. Schultz was president of the Georgia Tech Pride Alliance and identified as “bisexual, nonbinary, and intersex.”
