To try and figure out what the man was doing. A Law Enforcement source says when an officer approached the man, he charged her with two large sticks. She opened fire and killed the man with her department issued service weapon. The shooting happened about 400 yards back into the tunnel here. The smell of urine still hangs in the station. 1 question has to be whether the man was simply looking for a place where no one could see him. Metro is declining at this point to release the officers name, but it says she is a 10 year veteran of the Metro Transit Police. Metro put her on paid administrative leave, standard procedure for shooting incidents. D. C.

University of maryland president wallace loh took to twitter this afternoon to try and answer questions about his universitys investigation into a student who sent a shocking racist email to fraternity brothers. This email is more than a year old but has only now just come to light. Scott broom is live at maryland tonight to report on the reactions to it. Scott . Reporter well, one of the difficult challenges in reporting this tonight is i simply cant tell you on television what this email said. It is that profane. Its that disgusting. It is simply stunning in its ugliness. In a single sentence it manages to cast racial epithets at no less than three racial groups. It attacks women and it openly incites rape at a fraternity park. Perhaps equally challenging in all this is that University President wallace loh is refusing to do Television Interviews about this. Instead he took to twitter this afternoon to say that, the utter disregard for decency, the racist and mindless disparaging of Sexual Consent has left me angry and profoundly saddened. Earlier loh announced an investigation is underway but has not answered questions about detailed or confirmed the name of the student tore said what the students status is at the university.

In a News Conference that just wrapped up jones claims the frat students are in danger.
