LEXINGTON, Ky. — University of Kentucky fraternity and sorority members used a group messaging app to warn each other last month about a potentially dangerous student who carried a gun to a party to protect UK basketball player Tai Wynyard.
Messages to the student, whom Courier Journal is not naming because no criminal charges were filed, were not immediately returned.
Wynyard, a redshirt sophomore forward from New Zealand, has been suspended from all team activities for a violation of team rules, though UK associate media relations director Eric Lindsey would not confirm when the suspension was handed down or if it was connected to the allegation.
