Chilling moment mentally-ill man, 26, with AR-15 tries to SHOOT his way into lobby of Fox13 news HQ in Memphis 'to share message from God', sending terrified staffers fleeing
Daily Mail ^ | 5/3/23 | Lewis Pennock

A gunman stormed a Fox news headquarters in Memphis and fired an AR-15 before bolting himself in the restroom of a nearby restaurant during a standoff with police.

Jarrad Nathan, 26, went to the offices of FOX13 and claimed he'd been given a message from God about the murder of Tyre Nichols in Memphis in January.

He then fired a round through a ballistic glass door - which requires a keycard to open - which struck the front desk. The incident unfolded at about 11.30am on Tuesday and Nathan was detained about two hours later.

With this slow drip, drip, drip of (now almost daily) reports of gun use, I’m sensing a false flag/Reichstag fire moment coming.

The problem may be that there was no stupid sticker and the glass felt vulnerable.

He had a dreaded AR-15? Why wasn’t he able to pass into the building like Thanos with an infinity stone?

***No, but the FBI has a gun-to-mental-patient program that’s working wonders in the community.***

I remember 1989 when California released Pat Purdy from a mental institution, allowed him to buy guns in violation of state and Federal laws, then he went and shot up the Stockton school yard killing several students and himself.

California pulled out an already prepared AW ban bill and passed it before opposition could be mounted against it.

I expect the same thing to happen soon in Colorado as they already have a bill prepared.

“fired a round through a ballistic glass door ... which struck the front desk”

Methinks they need to procure a better “ballistic glass” supplier.

So what was the message from God?

If you don't know then you obviously are not cleared for that security level.

I like the Mossberg 930 Tactical SPX , 7+1, no pumping which wife loves. Drop the bolt (that sound usually ends the situation) and you are ready! Most people don’t know seven are going down range very quickly.
