Gonzaga Expulsion

Students are facing suspension or even expulsion after using a firearm to fend off an intruder in their University- owned apartment. The act of using the firearm violates the schools weapon policy. On October 24th there was a knock on the door of the apartment rented by Erik Fagan and Daniel McIntosh. Erik answered the door and a six-time convicted felon asked for 15 dollars. Erik gave the man a blanket and a can of food, but didn't feel comfortable giving him money. The man made his way the the door when Erik yelled to Daniel. Daniel came with a pistol and the man turned and ran. The two called the police right after. When the campus security came they confiscated a pistol and a shotgun for the apartment. They both face either expulsion or suspension for possessing a firearm on school grounds and putting others lives in danger through a firearm.
