A sociology professor shot himself in protest at Donald Trump’s presidency, police have said.
Mark J Bird, an academic at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) in Las Vegas, was charged with firing a handgun in a prohibited building, carrying a weapon without a permit, and possessing a dangerous weapon on school property.
A student found the 69-year-old bleeding from his arm outside one of the university’s bathrooms last month, according to a police report obtained by the Las Vegas Review Journal.
As witnesses attempted to calm Mr Bird and stop the bleeding, the professor reportedly told one college employee who was holding his hand he had shot himself in protest at the US president. The police report failed to provide further details.
