UL Faculty Subdues Threatening Woman
KENTUCKY...
Police say faculty members acted quickly to subdue a University of Louisville student who displayed a gun during a meeting on campus.
The woman said after her arrest Thursday afternoon that she had intended to kill herself.
Hall says the woman was in a meeting with faculty members when she pulled out the loaded gun and said, "well I guess this is it." Faculty members jumped on top of the woman and took the gun. No one was hurt.
Hall says the staff's actions kept the woman from hurting herself and anyone else.
Police said the woman, who was a graduate student and part-time employee at the university, will be charged with wanton endangerment.
