A campus security officer shot and killed a male college student at an off-campus women’s dormitory Tuesday in Lynchburg, Va., after the student attacked him with a hammer, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The student, identified as Joshua Hathaway, 19, of Lubbock, Texas, a freshman at Liberty University, told the security officer about 4:15 a.m. that someone had stolen his car, police said in a search warrant affidavit filed in Lynchburg District Court and provided by the university.<\/p>\n

For an unknown reason, Hathaway then “pulled out a hammer from his clothing and assaulted the officer” in the dormitory’s lobby. The officer fired two shots in response, striking Hathaway at least once, according to the affidavit.
