A resident student went to the police station to report that he was a victim of aggravated battery for an incident that happened the week before.
According to reports, the student was on the fifth floor of Indian Park Towers studying, when he saw another student. The resident student stood up because of a commotion in the area, tripped over furniture and fell backwards. While he was on the floor, the other student took out a B.B. gun and shot him in the back.
The resident student said he was hesitant to report the incident at first, but he had a welt on his back because of the incident.
Later that day, police went to the dorm of the student who shot the B.B. gun to further investigate.
The student told police that he was in the study lounge with the other student, when they both heard a commotion outside the area. After the student fell, he began crawling toward him and thought he was going to harm him. He took out his B.B. gun and shot him. He apologized after.
The B.B. gun was confiscated and the student was given a referral because B.B. guns or any weapons of such nature are prohibited on any FAU campus.
