Disgruntled Professor Anthony Polito, who killed three educators and wounded another, was urged to flee the building by police during the shooting.

Newly released bodycam footage shows police officers mistaking the UNLV gunman, Anthony Polito, for a bystander during the shooting, urging him to flee the building.
The footage reveals that Polito, dressed in a long black trench coat, walked calmly through the building as officers swarmed the area.
Polito, a disgruntled professor who had been turned down for a teaching position at the school, killed three educators and wounded another during the shooting rampage.
The victims were identified as Naoko Takemaru, 69; Cha Jan “Jerry” Chang, 64; and Patricia Navarro Velez, 39. The wounded professor has not been identified.
Polito was later killed in a shootout with university police officers outside the building.
