There's video. The student, Scout Schultz, was distressed but not violent. At one point they yelled "shoot me."

I have dealt with people in distress like that a dozen times in my life. Nobody ever died as a result.

I've always been against campus police having guns, back to my own undergrad days, and this kind of senselessness is a huge part of why.
