\nAn Oldham County teacher died after he was shot on a college campus in Washington, D.C. Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
According to the Metropolitan Police Department, the shooting happened around 8 a.m. at The Catholic University of America. <\/p>\n
Officers were called to Alumni Lane on the reported shooting, where they found a man who had been shot. He was transported to a local hospital where he died from his injuries.<\/p>\n
Police believe the victim and the suspected shooter, who has not yet been identified, knew each other.<\/p>\n
The victim was identified as 25 year-old Maxwell Emerson, of Crestwood, Kentucky. A spokesperson for Oldham County Schools confirmed Emerson taught social studies at Oldham County High School, where he was also the assistant wrestling coach. He became a full-time teacher there in June 2021, having previously worked as a substitute teacher.<\/p>\n
While working at Oldham County High School, Emerson was selected for the Henrion Multicultural Fund for Teachers, a grant that sends high school teachers abroad during the summer break for an educational experience. The goal is to have teachers bring their experiences and cultural knowledge back to their classrooms to enrich their students’ knowledge of other cultures. Emerson was set to travel to Vietnam to study its culture and history to better understand the country while teaching about the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n
The investigation into Wednesday morning’s shooting remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Catholic University President Peter Kilpatrick said two men had gotten into an “altercation” that ended in a shooting in front of a campus building. Thankfully no one else was injured.
