The suspect arrested following a mass shooting on Tuskegee University's campus last weekend will remain behind bars indefinitely.During a Friday court appearance, a judge granted the U.S. Attorneys Office's request to have Jaquez Myrick held in the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service until his trial, the date of which has not been set.Myrick, 25, of Montgomery, is accused of having a weapon with a machine gun conversion device and faces a federal charge of possession of a machine gun. The complaint does not accuse him of shooting anyone. No attorneys who could speak on Myricks behalf are listed in the federal court documents, and it was unclear from jail records whether he has one.Court documents reveal that on the night of the shooting, an officer running toward the gunfire found a dead body and then saw Myrick with a Glock pistol.Myrick told special agents he had come from his home in Montgomery to the Tuskegee campus "looking for a party" and was with some friends when the shooting started.He said he purchased the Glock from a pawn shop in Tampa, Florida, and then purchased a machine gun conversion device from a seller he met through the online site Discord, the complaint states. Myrick said he had the package delivered to a vacant residence and installed the device on his pistol.The device was discussed by several Democratic lawmakers in Montgomery Friday as Myrick made his court appearance."This isn't about taking away the rights of gun owners," Rep. Pebblin Warren of House District 82 said. "This is about ridding our streets of illegal gun modifications that can turn regular guns into machine guns."Warren and other representatives are pushing for two pre-filed bills. One, proposed by Rep. Phillip Ensler, is calling for a ban on the devices on a state level."Glock switches are incredibly dangerous when someone pulls the trigger on a gun that has one of those. The bullets can spray in every direction," Ensler said. "Even in the affidavit, Mr. Myrick said that he didn't aim at anyone. But we know that the bullets sprayed in multiple directions, which creates so much chaos and havoc and can injure anybody that's nearby."The other gun bill discussed today would require people to have a permit to carry or buy an assault weapon.The shooting came as the schools 100th homecoming week was winding down. A dozen of the victims were hit by gunfire, with the others injured as they tried to escape the chaotic scene, authorities said. Many of the injured were students.Since then, university officials have announced a series of sweeping security measures that have already begun to be implemented across the campus.
