"Three University of Mississippi students were suspended from their fraternity and now face a potential Justice Department investigation after a photo surfaced of them posing for a picture in front of a bullet-riddled sign commemorating the site where Emmett Till was murdered in 1955, according to the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting and ProPublica.
The Kappa Alpha fraternity suspended the trio Wednesday after the picture made headlines and news organizations sent a copy to the fraternity chapter's leaders.
"The photo is inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable. It does not represent our chapter," Taylor Anderson, president of Ole Miss’ Kappa Alpha Order, wrote in an email to ProPublica. "We have and will continue to be in communication with our national organization and the University."
The photo was posted to Ole Miss student and Kappa Alpha member Ben LeClere's Instagram account in March. It appears to show LeClere holding a shotgun, posing next to the shot-up sign alongside two of his fraternity brothers, one of whom is holding an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. One of the students is believed to be Ole Miss student John Lowe."
