A federal judge in Atlanta has tossed out wrongful death claims against the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia filed by the parents of Georgia Tech student Scott “Scout’” Schultz, who was shot and killed by a campus police officer while experiencing a mental health crisis in 2017.
But claims that the Tech police officer who shot Schultz violated the student’s constitutional rights by using excessive force remain pending.
