Gunman subdued in Duke president's office

The Associated Press

DURHAM, N.C. (September 7, 2000 6:43 a.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - A man carrying a loaded gun was subdued by police after walking into the office of the president of Duke University, demanding to see her, and threatening to kill himself.

David Malone entered the office of Wednesday afternoon and asked for President Nannerl O. Keohane, then removed a .32-caliber revolver from a backpack and told three people in the office that he was "going to blow my brains out," Duke officials said.

Two officers asked Malone, 46, to hand over the gun, but he replied, "You might as well shoot me; I'm not going to drop the gun," according to police reports.

The officers then used pepper spray on Malone and wrestled him to the floor. Keohane was out of the office at the time, and no one was injured, university police Maj. Robert Dean said.

Malone was charged with assault, second-degree kidnapping and having a weapon on campus, Dean said. Police said the gun was loaded and the backpack contained 32 additional bullets.

University spokesman Al Rossiter Jr. said Malone is not a student or employee of the school and it was not clear what he wanted. "He just said he wanted to see the president," Rossiter said.

Keohane said she may make some changes in security but would maintain policies that provided students and community members access to Duke administrators.

Why didnt the security guards dare this imacile to go ahead and shoot himself. Now the taxpayers are gonna have to pay for his lawyer, roomd and board and quite possibly a head shrinker. Could have saved a lot of money by just having the looser shoot himself.
 
No, this can't be right. Schools are gun-free zones. Must be some mistake - no way this goblin had a gun on campus. Schools are gun-free zones. (And if you close your eyes, and click your heels together, and say...)
