An anti-Trump sociology professor at the College of Southern Nevada shot himself on campus last month as way to protest the president, police said.
Mark J. Bird, 69, was found bloodied outside a bathroom in the Charleston campus K building with a self-inflicted gunshot wound the morning of the second day of classes August 28.
Inside the bathroom, was the .22-caliber handgun he used as well as a spent shell casing.
Bird also left a $100 bill taped to the bathroom mirror with a note that read: 'For the janitor,' according to the Review Journal.
One college employee, who was holding Bird's hand while trying to calm him in the moments after the shooting, told investigators that Bird said he wanted to protest Trump.
However, the report did not elaborate about any specifics.

Bird was found with a self-inflicted wound to the arm. He said he shot himself to protest the president
He was treated for his wound and later charged with possessing a dangerous weapon on school property, discharging a gun within a prohibited structure and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.
The professor said he shot himself in the arm to revolt Donald Trump's presidency, the police report said, without going into further detail.
An alert about the incident was sent to all students and faculty around 9am that morning.
CSN President Federico Zaragoza wrote in a newsletter: 'I appreciate all of the expressions of concern and interest, and I pledge to keep everyone updated should the situation change.'
Bird, for whatever reason, was not identified in the newsletter.
CSN faculty union president Robert Manis told the Review Journal: 'They never really told the students much about it except that it was resolved on the actual day of the shooting.
'When you don’t give the full details, then rumors go crazy. It’s unfortunate because it made the students and faculty very afraid and allowed rumors to proliferate.'
Bird is scheduled to appear for his initial court hearing September 17.
He is currently employed as an emeritus faculty member at the community college.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
