Coach Stoops On BB Gun Incident: “Disappointed”

 “[I’m] very disappointed. We have expectations. We have core values in our program," University of Kentucky Head Football Coach Mark Stoops said after practice on Tuesday. "We try to live by [those values] each and every day.”

Those comments after four University of Kentucky football players could be facing charges after university police believe they were part of a group who fired a BB gun and caused a two-hour lock down on campus Sunday night.

“We understand that we’re not perfect, [but] just like someone within our family, they made a mistake," Stoops said. "They’re going to be held accountable and we’ll move on.”

University of Kentucky Police said they had two reports of shots fired near the Kirwan-Blanding residence complex around 10 p.m. Sunday.

After police received the reports, the entire university was put on an emergency lock down and a campus-wide alert was issued, causing panic among students and staff.

After UK Police, Lexington Police officers and Kentucky State Police troopers searched the campus for nearly two hours, an “all clear” was issued by police officials.

At a press conference on Monday morning, UK’s Police Chief Joe Monroe released several surveillance images of people of interest in the case.

Those images showed someone who appeared to be wearing a UK Football Special Teams t-shirt.

Then late Monday night, university police issued a written statement identifying four of the suspects, all of them UK football players.

Dorian Baker, Drew Barker, Tymere Dubose and Stanley "Boom" Williams could face charges of second-degree disorderly conduct as soon as Tuesday, Fayette County Attorney Larry Roberts said.

If they’re convicted, the misdemeanor charge could put them in jail up to 90 days.

In the written statement, UK police also said they found three BB guns that police believe were used in the incident.

The University of Kentucky football team also released a statement shortly after police late Monday night.

According to the statement, the football team suspended all four players from the South Carolina game on Saturday.

Stoops said the university is acting accordingly, "If we have a situation in which someone does not act according to our standards, we hold him accountable."

In addition to possible criminal charges, the four could see consequences from the Office of Student Affairs in connection to the incident.

UK Police and the Fayette County were scheduled to meet Tuesday afternoon to discuss the possible charges.

As of 11 p.m. Tuesday, the four players had not yet been charged.
