Frat boys could face federal charges after posing with guns at Emmitt Till memorial
Three fraternity brothers at the University of Mississippi have been suspended — and are possibly facing federal charges — for taking a photo in front of a bullet-riddled sign honoring slain civil rights icon Emmett Till while holding a shotgun and AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. “The photo is on Instagram with hundreds of ‘likes,’ and no one said a thing,” says a complaint filed with the UM Office of Student Conduct. The Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting, which is a member of the ProPublica Local Reporting Network, reviewed the complaint and obtained a copy of the photo in question, which was taken earlier this year. Kappa Alpha Order officials reportedly suspended the three fraternity brothers on Wednesday after the photo was brought to their attention by the Center for Investigative Reporting.
