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.'

Apparently so.
Imagine what a locked door can do.
Another manifesto, that won’t see the light of day, I’m sure.
I trust the murderer dies.
Looking at that picture, and the tittys on that dude, maybe he was “transitioning”. But they’d tell us right?
It was during first Trump impeachment I think and he did it to imply Trump was, “too chicken” to show up and subject himself to the dem shitshow Q&A bash sessions. I had never heard of him before that and along with his buddy Rep Castro (forget where he was from) were two of the standouts who I decided would one day give pencil neck a run for his money as most absurd and useless oxygen thieves in Congress.
And maybe he was on none and should have been on some
Considering his age that is a valid point.
Just kill the SOB .......
I’m in for that but just taking the long way just to gather some data to see if all these losers are drugged.
He kisses so much black a$$, he might as well be black. He is a loathsome creature who I despise with all my being. I am stuck with him as my congress critter.
of course they are ,
