UPDATE:
According to the TJC Press Statement, TJC Campus Police has also issued warrants for two other individuals. Nine other students face Student Code of Conduct violations, and the names won’t be disclosed due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
“Bringing firearm on campus illegally and discharging those firearms on campus is irresponsible and dangerous,” said TJC Police Chief Randy Melton.” These defendants purposefully committed criminal acts and put other students at risk in the process. TJC has worked tireless to bring the appropriate individuals to justice.”
