Danks and Danks said Bard's son had his dorm room burglarized on Oct. 11 by a group that pulled a fire alarm and used fire extinguishers to disable security cameras. When he reported the incident to the resident assistant, the attorneys said Bard's son began receiving threats.

Bard's lawyers said that three days before the shooting at KSU, the same son and his three friends were assaulted by 15 to 20 people. They also claim the son was attacked with baseball bats and weapons in his dorm room by 20-30 people the day before the shooting.

According to the release, Bard’s family approached his younger son’s dorm room to retrieve his belongings and found four individuals waiting for him; the officer escorting the family ordered the individuals to leave.

The firm said that when the officer left at one point, an individual previously involved in prior assaults began to photograph Bard’s son, resulting in a physical altercation between the son and this individual.

“Jacob’s son immediately exited the elevator and called KSU police,” the release continued. “Upon exiting the elevator, other individuals who had been involved in prior attacks on Bard’s son were now in the lobby despite the assurances of the University that these individuals would no longer be allowed in the building. These individuals again photographed the Bard family with their phones and began making threats.”

As the family loaded Bard’s son’s belongings, the attorney said the family “saw numerous individuals who had also been involved in prior attacks arriving and running to join the other individuals in the dormitory lobby area” and waited for police to escort them into the building.

“Despite having two armed Kentucky State University Police Officers present, a group of twenty to thirty individuals gathered in the lobby of the son’s dormitory to violently and viciously attack Jacob Bard’s son and family,” the release said. “Many of these individuals were not students of the university and wore ski masks, hoods, and otherwise concealed their faces.”

The release went on to say that Bard’s son was “slammed into the concrete,” with multiple people attacking him.

“The officer on scene had completely lost control of the situation, and while Jacob and his wife ran towards their son, the officer was retreating further from the erupting violence,” the release continues. “In the chaos, Jacob tied to physically pull the individuals off his son, was struck and when he was unable to do so, and seeing his son in imminent danger of death and serious physical injury, Jacob then drew his firearm and shot two individuals who were actively and viciously beating his son.”
