"Multiple media sources have reported that a grand jury this week declined to indict the father of two Kentucky State University students who was charged with murder for an on-campus shooting that killed one student and injured another."

"Subsequently the parents of the deceased student, Chardnae Cleveland and De’Jon Darrell Fox Sr., have been arrested in Indiana for making online threats against the man who shot their son. They have been charged with felony intimidation."

"Bard’s attorneys said 20 to 30 mostly masked people had gathered to attack his son and his family as they were moving his son out of the dorm. They were withdrawing both their sons from the school because of 'multiple armed, violent' incidents to them and others in the days leading up to the December incident."

"Bard’s lawyers said that three days before the shooting, the son and his three friends were assaulted by 15-20 people. They claim the son was attacked with baseball bats and weapons in his dorm room the day before the shooting. The attacks apparently started when the son reported his dorm room burglarized on Oct. 11 by a group that pulled a fire alarm and used fire extinguishers to disable security cameras, and he reported the incident to a resident assistant."

Except what specific 'multiple armed, violent incidents' occurred. That was what I was curious about. (n/t) OldBaldy1701E Dec 2025 #36

Kentucky State University better expell those violent perpetrators, and those perpetrators need to be indicted. lostincalifornia Dec 2025 #11

In this case it was, the campus police, for whatever reason, MarineCombatEngineer Dec 2025 #27
The attackers weren't even detered by the armed campus police officers... Historic NY Dec 2025 #21
And why didn't the armed campus police use their tasers or pepperspray against them? MarineCombatEngineer Dec 2025 #24
May have, but they were two against twenty or more. Police don't fire randomly into crowds in an area that has ... marble falls Dec 2025 #29
