A naval academy midshipman has allegedly admitted to a physical altercation with a student, downplaying the incident after investigators questioned him about visible injuries. The sub reportedly told a witness that the confrontation ended with both parties involved, leaving them "square" following mutual retaliation. Authorities are examining the exchange amid concerns over accountability and the handling of such disputes within the institution. Details on how the incident was reported and any disciplinary actions remain under review.
"He kicked me and I kicked him. So now we're square," the sub allegedly told a witness who questioned him about a large mark on the student's leg, investigators said.
