Previously a “good guy with a gun,” a professor at a university in Georgia shot into a car in a parking garage, killing a female student from that school, after he was kicked out of a local bar for threatening another patron, the Macon Telegraph reports.
The legal gun owner, 47-year-old University of West Georgia statistics professor Richard Sigman, was at an off-campus establishment Saturday drinking with his gun–it is unknown if the firearm imbibed as well which might explain it going off–when he got into an altercation with another man, who reported to the bar’s bouncers that Sigman threatened his life. The bouncers bounced Sigman out of the bar.
Later, Sigman approached a parked car at a nearby parking garage–presumably one in which the person he confronted earlier rode–and he fired randomly into the car, killing 18-year-old Anna Jones, an innocent bystander who had no contact earlier with Sigman.
In Georgia, entering a drinking establishment with a bar is legal, as is drinking in said establishment, and even drinking to excess in said establishment.
