Yale Junior Found with Guns Arraigned on Charges of Threatening

NEW HAVEN Conn.
A Yale University
student who is accused of firing a gun in the living room of his off-campus
fraternity house over the weekend has been arraigned on charges of reckless
endangerment, threatening and breach of peace.

Yale police arrested David Light, 21, on Monday night at the
frat house, Beta Theta Pi, after confiscating 11 guns, including two assault
rifles, and a stockpile of chemicals and ammunition, the university and police
said.

Light, a junior at Yale, has been temporarily suspended from
school. Police say he may face additional charges. He was arraigned Tuesday.

On Sunday, a visitor to the fraternity house reported to
police that at 3 a.m. Friday, he heard gunshots and ran downstairs to
investigate.

The visitor, Christopher Keefer, told police that he warned
Light to put away a gun Light was carrying, but Light fired off another two
rounds at the ceiling, he said. Light said he was firing blanks.

An argument followed and Keefer asked Light to prove his
point that no one would get hurt.
