Student shot dead by Georgia Tech campus police after allegedly approaching them with a knife

A student in the USA has been shot dead by campus police at Georgia Tech after allegedly approaching them while carrying a knife.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is looking into the fatal shooting of the student after officers were called about a person with a knife and a gun. The GBI said that when officers arrived, they found Scott Schultz, 21, outside a dormitory with a knife.

Schultz, who identified as gender non-binary, was seen approaching police in a video, taken by a fellow student from his dorm room. A knife is not visible in the video, but footage taken by WSB after the shooting shows a small blade. 

Come on, man, drop the knife," one officer says. "Come on, let's drop it," another officer says.

Schultz can be heard shouting, "Shoot me!"

"No, drop the knife," the officers reply.

The officers repeatedly tell Schultz to drop the knife and one says, "Nobody wants to hurt you." Another says, "What's going on, man?"
