The former student, Owen Hossack, has been suspended by both OSU and Alpha Gamma Rho, his former fraternity, according to Oklahoma's News9.

Michael Konopasek at News9 writes, "OSU says Hossack used a loaded gun to scare two new fraternity recruits. The victims say Hossack pointed the gun at their heads and asked if they would take a bullet for their brothers."

According to court documents, Hossack allegedly got angry when the recruits answered that they would not take a bullet for their soon-t0-be brothers and shot out the rear window of the pickup truck where the freshmen were sitting.

Hossack pleaded "not guilty" on Monday to two felony counts of pointing a firearm with intent to threaten and is due back in court in November.
