Police Respond To Reported Gunman At Philadelphia Community College

Source: CBS

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Police were called to the Community College of Philadelphia on Tuesday morning for a report of a man with a gun on campus, according to authorities.

Police responded around 10 a.m. to the school at 16th and Spring Garden Streets.

Authorities say it initially appears that the incident began as an argument between a student and another person. Police say that dispute led to the man pulling a firearm and threatening the student.

Witnesses told authorities that the suspect was then seen entering the Winnet Building on campus.

Road rage suspect points gun at car, police let him go free

A motorcycle driver who was caught on camera pulling out a gun and pointing it at another driver Sunday was allowed to go free, and a witness wants to know why.

It happened on State Highway 54 in Coweta County near the Fayette County line. To the man who captured the incident on his private dashboard camera, it looked like an incident of road rage, plain and simple.
...
"The initial report was made to Peachtree City Police this date by the victim flagging down one of their officers. After the victim called 911 and gave a description of suspect, the motorcycle and direction of travel, Peachtree City found a subject matching that description. Also a witness stopped and advised officers that he had gotten the incident on his personal dash cam . Upon viewing the video officers discovered the incident had happened in Coweta county and we were notified to assist. We spoke with witness and have the information on the suspect, but the victim told PTC police he needed to go home to Henry county and was not available for us to take a report/statement or to take a look at the suspect. All of our interviews were videoed and recorded and the investigation is continuing and we hope to have the victim in soon for his report."

The witness said he felt like he should also be considered a victim because the gun was briefly pointed at him as the rider was drawing it. He said he is planning to ask a judge, Monday, for an arrest warrant as a private citizen. That is something Georgia residents have the power to do if they disagree with an officer's decision not to charge someone with a crime.
