Reported scene of Demetrius Jackson shooting  in Syracuse, New York, Google Maps

At about 2:30 pm on Tuesday, August 31, 2021 near 1808 Lodi Street in Syracuse New York, a 29-year-old man threatened a crowd of people with a 9mm handgun. When they did not comply, he started firing into the group. From localsyr.com:

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Demetrius Jackson, the man killed in the Lodi Street shooting on Tuesday, was in possession of a loaded 9mm handgun while outside of 1808 Lodi Street, District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said.

Jackson threatened multiple people at the location and fired the loaded handgun in the direction of those people, officials said.

Another man, who was on scene and in possession of a 9mm handgun returned fire striking and killing Jackson, Fitzpatrick said. According to Fitzpatrick, this man has a valid pistol permit for the 9mm handgun.

The District Attorney said in a statement that based on preliminary investigation, it appears the man who shot Jackson saved the lives of several individuals.

The man who stopped the attack by shooting Demetrius Jackson is reported to be the property manager, Richard Morose. He is 39 years old. It is not easy to shoot back accurately while being fired upon. From syracuse.com:

Syracuse, NY — A Syracuse property manager has been identified as the person who shot and killed a 28-year-old man the Tuesday after the man allegedly fired a gun of his own at multiple people.

The property manager, Richard Morose, was at 1808 Lodi St. when he pulled a legally possessed 9mm handgun and killed Demetris Jackson, the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office said

Will this shooting be included in the FBI list of mass killings stopped by armed citizens?

Demetris Jackson? Good one. Should have brought along his gladiators.

"Demetrius Montell Jackson Jr. is an American professional basketball player, who lastly played for Joventut Badalona of the Spanish Liga ACB."

Is this the same guy..?

Jackson threatened multiple people at the location and fired the loaded handgun in the direction of those people

How can you fire an unloaded handgun?

[bert]

Demetris is not Demetrius and lacks the African Gladiator slave gene

[Ken522]

Probably not - the perp might have had COVID so this would be a COVID fatality ...

Nothing good happens on Lodi Street.

It’s a dangerous section of town.

[ASA Vet]

Even if he didn’t, it will be listed as such.

[TheDon]

No pictures of the perpetrator. White supremacist?

It’s a Schrödinger’s handgun.

Until you measure it (by pulling the trigger or manipulating the slide), a Schrödinger’s handgun can simultaneously be loaded and unloaded. When dealing with one, you must always presume it is loaded, even with the magazine out of the weapon.

It should be noted there are no Schrödinger’s revolvers since their loaded/unloaded state can be determined by close external examination without touching the weapon or taking a measurement.

“...it appears the man who shot Jackson saved the lives of several individuals...”

Never mind that, the important thing is whether he had proper New York licensure.

Schrödinger’s gat.

[marktwain]

Schrödinger’s question?

Well, punk, are you feeling lucky?

[Roccus]

Schrödinger’s gat

Brilliant!!!

[Captain Rhino]

Gat = Cat, I presume.

Yes. It seemed an appropriate application of his famous “Uncertainty Principle.”
