CLERMONT — Clermont Police arrested a man today after he fired a gun in a bathroom at Lake-Sumter’s State College's South Lake campus.

The shot was fired shortly after 2 p.m. in the bathroom at the Cooper Memorial Library, but no one was injured.

According to Clermont police, a man later identified as Jeffrey Judd, 19, told campus security he was in the restroom when he heard a gun go off. Security officers found a bullet hole in a mirror and smelled gun powder.

Police locked down the campus from 2:10 to 2:40 p.m. to investigate.

Officers said Judd finally admitted that the gun was his and he fired it. He said he made up the story about another shooter because he was scared.

It wasn't immediately clear if Judd discharged the gun intentionally, although college officials characterized it as a "non-violent incident," suggesting the gun was fired accidentally.

Judd was charged with bringing a concealed firearm on campus.

According to Kevin Yurasek, spokesman for the college, police presence on campus was heightened as investigators finished their work, but police say it was an isolated incident and no one else was involved.
