Georgia Tech police shot dead a barefoot student carrying a knife late on Saturday night during a LGBTQ protest.
The student, 21-year-old Scout Schultz, who identified as gender non-binary, was seen walking toward police - who issued several warnings to drop what officers believed was a knife.
The tense encounter was caught on camera- in which the student can be seen walking close and closer to the police officers and shouting 'shoot me.'
'Nobody wants to hurt you,' one of the officers can be heard saying.
Schultz was then shot once and immediately crumpled to the ground, screaming out in pain.
