According to police records obtained by WFLA, Knox allegedly shot a gun at the side of the dormitory building where he lives on campus. Police did not find Knox when responding to calls about the gunshot but were able to identify him when they found an open gun case and a box of rounds near his car.
He was charged with "possessing or discharging a firearm on campus and shooting into an occupied dwelling," per Claire McNeill of the Tampa Bay Times. There have been no reported injuries at this time.
"Any time you hear of a person with a gun on campus or some type of discharge of a weapon, you automatically go to the worst and hope for the best," said USF police Assistant Chief Chris Daniel, per McNeill.
