WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) _ Purdue University and the school's student newspaper have resolved a lawsuit filed over a confrontation between campus police and a student photographer shortly after fatal attack inside a classroom building.
The parties said in a joint statement that their agreement includes the dismissal of the lawsuit filed by the Purdue Exponent newspaper seeking release of a video of the photographer's detention by police.
Attorneys for Purdue and the newspaper say they “found common ground on their shared concerns and reached a forward-looking agreement on how to improve communications and procedures.''
The photographer was stopped by campus police in January 2014 shortly after 21-year-old Andrew Boldt of West Bend, Wisconsin, was fatally shot and stabbed by fellow student Cody Cousins of Warsaw, Indiana. Cousins committed suicide in prison last year.
