COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — Police at Georgia's Columbus State University fatally shot a man over the weekend after officers responded to a report of someone with a gun, authorities said. A lawyer for the man's family said Monday that the man was unarmed and a visitor on campus.

Zikarious Jaquan Flint, 20, died Sunday after receiving two gunshot wounds, Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan said Monday.

Flint wasn't a student at the university and no one else was hurt in the shooting Sunday afternoon at the campus, located about 100 miles southwest of Atlanta near the Alabama state line.

University Police Chief Rus Drew said officers were called at 2:35 p.m. Sunday and arrived three minutes later to an area near some campus apartments and began pursuing a man on foot.

1. Someone's not telling the truth.....

Campus police say a gun was recovered at the scene, while his three buddies claim he didn't have a gun with him.

I'm not going to draw any conclusions 'till more facts come out, IMO the GBI has been pretty good at getting to the truth in situations such as this.
