"Former UNLV Professor Resigns Amid Sexual Comment Allegations, Student Claims"

The gunman who killed three people at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) had previously resigned from another university after a female student accused him of making a sexual comment about her appearance. The incident occurred in 2016 at East Carolina University (ECU), where Anthony Polito was a tenured associate professor. The student reported the incident to the business school's dean, and Polito resigned from his position the following year. Polito, who had a "target list" of faculty members at UNLV and ECU, applied for a teaching job at UNLV in 2020 but was not hired. The motive for the shooting remains unknown.
