The family of the Kentucky teacher who was gunned down on Catholic University's campus Wednesday left D.C. with more questions than answers.
Steve and Chandra Emerson told FOX 5, moments before boarding their flight fromback to Louisville, Kentucky, they were in town with their 25-year-old son Max and his twin brother to sightsee, and celebrate the Fourth of July. Max, a social studies teacher and assistant wrestling coach at Oldham County High School, was supposed to attend a conference at the Library of Congress. The shooter is still on the loose, and D.C. police said they're canvassing the area around the campus.
But Max's family says that's just not true. And his mom says she has a text message — sent right before her son was killed — to prove it"I would believe there's still a threat. I mean, how could there not? I mean he came up and shot my son," Chandra Emerson added. School officials said the altercation happened after Max and another man walked onto the campus from Michigan Avenue. Police said the two men were involved in an argument in the plaza in front of Father O’Connell Hall."I can tell you, based on video evidence, detectives observed the victim and suspect walking together and arriving at the location of the offense together," said Metropolitan Police Assistant Chief Leslie Parsons during a Thursday morning press conference.
But Max's parents say he was robbed — his cell phone and belongings taken — as he headed to the Metro for the conference. Moments before it happened, his mom says he sent her a cryptic Snapchat message: "Help. Bring ribbed At cub point.""I figured out it said, 'I'm being robbed at gunpoint,'" Chandra Emerson recalled. "The only thing I can think of is that Max is a friendly person, and you know, he saw the person and didn't react. I don't know.
