According to court records, professor Mark J. Bird allegedly shot himself in the arm on school grounds in an effort to protest the president.
A Las Vegas professor at the College of Southern Nevada reportedly shot himself on the college campus in protest of President Donald Trump. The sociology professor, identified as Mark J. Bird, now faces felony gun charges, including unlawful discharge of a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and the possession of a deadly weapon on school property.
According to court records obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Bird allegedly shot himself in the arm on school grounds. The professor's reasoning behind the shooting, however, was not specified in the documents.
An eye-witness, however, told the investigators that Bird “started saying he’s protesting Trump and that he shot himself because of that.”
