Citadel Apologizes for Reporter Incident

CHARLESTON — As Sen. Rick Santorum was conceding defeat in South Carolina's primary Saturday .

One of the group stormed out on his own shouting "Occupy!" Others, who waited until Santorum finished speaking and was shaking hands and signing autographs for the crowd to shout their opposition, were dragged out by campaign aides. Outside Mark Clark Hall campus police took over and continued to escort the protesters off campus.

New York based Rosie Gray of www.buzzfeed.com followed the protesters outside to interview them and during the fracas a Citadel Campus Police officer knocked her phone out of her hand. Today the Citadel offered an appology.

UPDATE: The protesters that interruped Santorum's speech also issued a press release Monday. In the message the protesters call on Santorum to "acknowledge and apologize for false, bigoted attacks on LGBT Americans."
