A UC Davis campus police officer "unintentionally discharged" a firearm early Friday while detaining a person who was among multiple groups — including at least one UC Davis student — suspected of vandalizing university buildings and landmark sculptures, officials said.
Officers were called about 1:40 a.m. to reports of three people spray painting the university's famous Egghead sculptures near the Art Building, a news release said. Bill Kisliuk, a university spokesman, declined to describe the graffiti in hopes to discourage copycat tagging.
A foot chase began, and a police officer "unintentionally" fired his weapon while attempting to detain an individual, the news release said. No one was injured.
