Here’s What Went Down When Students Took Ben Carson’s Advice When Shooter Hit Their College Campus (646 hits)


GOP presidential hopeful Ben Carson stirred up controversy with his recent comments related to the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon.

During a Tuesday interview on “Fox & Friends,” Carson was asked what he would have done had he been in that classroom during the incident:

“I’m glad you asked that question. Because not only would I probably not cooperate with him, I would not just stand there and let him shoot me… I would say, ‘Hey guys! Everybody attack him! He may shoot me but he can’t get us all!'”
Well, it appears that a gunman on the campus of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff overnight was stopped because of the actions of bystanders.


ll, it appears that a gunman on the campus of Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff overnight was stopped because of the actions of bystanders.

Around 1:20am Friday, 18-year-old NAU freshman Steven Jones pulled out a gun in a parking lot near a dormitory.

After a post-party confrontation between two groups of students, Jones reportedly fired multiple shots, wounding three male students and killing Colin Brough, a junior business major.

All of the victims were members of the Delta Chi Fraternity, but Jones was not.
An unidentified witness told the Arizona Daily Sun in Flagstaff:

“We had just left a party and were standing in the street getting ready to walk home when a guy walked up with a pistol and just started shooting. I heard five or six shots and then my friends just tackled him. They got him really quick…

He didn’t get a chance to hurt himself. I saw him in handcuffs when the cops came.”
NAU Police Chief Gregory T. Fowler told reporters that the shooter didn’t appear to be targeting the campus.

The school was never placed on lockdown, and today’s classes were not cancelled, although counseling was available at a restaurant inside NAU’s North Union building.


There’s no word yet on the motive behind the shooting, nor on the conditions of the three wounded students. But if not for the decisive behavior of the students who “tackled” Jones, the carnage may have been much worse.
