Staff at a Memphis Jewish school have been praised for their quick thinking after they blocked an armed man from entering and then called the police, leading to him being stopped shortly after.
Workers at Margolin Hebrew Academy/Feinstone Yeshiva of the South called police at 12:20pm on Monday to report that a man with a handgun had tried to get into the school, and fired his gun outside.
Michael Masters, CEO of the Secure Community Network, told Jewish Telegraphic Agency the suspect was a male in his 40s who tried to enter the school but was prevented from doing so due to a security system.
Congressman Steve Cohen told The Daily Memphian the suspect was Jewish, and a former student.
On finding the entrance blocked, he fled, but the school shared security camera footage of the suspect and told police he was driving a maroon Ram pickup truck with California tags.
The man was pulled over around three miles from the school.
When he got out, he confronted police with his handgun, and was shot.
He has been taken to hospital, and remains in a critical condition.
'Today is a great example of very alert, vigilant officers trying to protect the city,' said Assistant Police Chief Don Crowe.
'I personally truly believe that we have avoided a tragedy. I think the suspect was going to harm somebody before the day was over.'

About time. They ended it before it started instead of standing around an hour picking lint from their belly buttons letting the worse happen.
Thank G-d no one of the attempted victims was hurt.
A better headline would have been *Good guys with guns stop a bad guy with a gun*
I wonder what demographic profile this shooter represented.
A man in his 40s is still bent out of shape about unfinished business from High School? Get over it, Dude!
… He has been taken to hospital, and remains in a critical condition.
More range time for the cop(s).
Also wonder what psychotropic drugs he is on.
Would agree....some kind of drug use probably, but they will never drug-test the guy....would spoil the narrative. Needs to be either state law or federal law...drug-test within x-number of hours after the ‘event’, then publish the results in the regional newspaper.
It's in the article:
Congressman Steve Cohen told The Daily Memphian the suspect was Jewish, and a former student.
Probably not יְהוּדֵי אֶתְיוֹפְּיָה (Yehudey Etyopyah or Ethiopian Jew)
Yea but my question is was he טרנסג’נדר?
Did I translate that correctly?
Sorry wrong thread
I have to trust Google translate on that one, if he were he’d have to be secular or Reform
Just shoot to aquire maximum blood flow from the wound and catch it in an evidence bag , zip it closed and then triple bag that an transport immediately to a hospital/lab nearby and then split the sample into three separate samples to test at multiple locations for verification of content of Yes or No for Drugs.
And no bullshit lawyer interference about legality of collection because of privacy issues. The POS was trying to kill one or more people and no longer has any privacy rights due to attempted murder.
The police did not stop it before it ended.
The shooter left because he couldn’t get in.
If the staff would have been armed.
They could have stopped it.
Rep. Stephen Cohen, just as crazy as the gunman. He once tried to join the Congressional Black Caucus because his district is largely black.
Pretty simple....double doors with security cameras...they have the same system in new apartment buildimgs in our area.
Praise God for that.
He showed up at CONgress one day with a bucket of fried chicken.
Don’t remember what the issue was, but he was trying to make some lefty point or other.
