I mean, did he do it on purpose? Did the gun misfire? accidental discharge? Did he own the gun legally?

No on was hurt. We don't know the details - so let the authorities decide his outcome.

My Gator work buds are already saying they wish he'd come to USF instead.  I told them, "We don't let you poach the good ones!". I don't understand why these guys throw away a free college education,

Is it wrong of me to look at this as a sign that we may really be on our way back .....

Taggart said he was "ticked off" when he heard Knox news, had just reminded team after Syracuse win about making the right decisions. #USF

 

Taggart on Knox: "I never thought it would be him" to do something like what he has been charged with. #USF

What does Knox's absence do to o-line? "Nothing," Taggart said. "Nothing at all." #USF

A USF police report from the incident says surveillance footage shows Knox, 21, pointing a handgun toward the dormitory and firing at least two shots, which damaged the building’s exterior. USF assistant police chief Chris Daniel told The Oracle on Monday drugs or alcohol were not believed to have been a factor.

Knox was released Monday from Hillsborough County Jail on $32,500 bond, but remains indefinitely suspended from all team activities, Taggart said. He appeared in all five games this season and is still listed on USF’s roster.

“To hear what happened, you’re like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’” Taggart said. “That just baffled me. You don’t understand it.”

^ hmm, okay, so if true it still leaves the dare or the female, 'cause just plain stupidity is totally inexplicable in this case.

Money on the female.

Earlier my chips were on substance and a chick.

All chips moved to chick-related activity.

Still, inexcusable.

I'm going to assume the gun was in his car since that's where they found the ammunition and that's where he could legally keep it. Also going to assume he took it back to his dorm room in a moment of panic after the shots. I'm very interested to see what else is on that video. Was he defending himself from another person or just showing off?

looks like we aren't the only ones with a gun problem, but it could be worse

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
