A UH cop pulled a gun on a Black theater student rehearsing outside. The school's solution? Neon vests.
A group of University of Houston theatre students pose for a portrait Monday, Jan. 30, 2023, at the Lyndall Finley Wortham Theatre at the University of Houston in Houston. In November a campus police officer drew his weapon while responding to what he believed was a call about an assault in progress. Domonique Champion, front, and Karina Ithier, second row center, were rehearsing a scene, which a witness misidentified as an assault.
It's been a haze, and Champion said he is receiving new information daily. The chief made the statement about a gun during a town hall with students Thursday, but university officials corrected it on Monday with an official report that the bystander said they saw a knife. Students spent all last week heightening their calls for answers from the UH Police Department.
Karina Ithier, a graduate student, tries to calm Domonique Champion as they talk about a traumatic event Monday, Jan. 30, 2023, at the Lyndall Finley Wortham Theatre at the University of Houston in Houston. In November a campus police officer drew his weapon while responding to what he believed was a call about an assault in progress. Ithier and Champion were rehearsing a scene outside, which a witness misidentified as an assault.
In police reports, the two officers who responded to the scene said that one of them pulled a weapon after they saw a Black male standing over a Black woman, moving what looked to be a knife in a downward motion. Another officer investigated later, reporting that the armed officer said he rounded the corner with his weapon already drawn.
