Is this the man who was shot in the arm? I did hear from some reports - not knowing if true - that some of the security did freeze. Again, not corroborated by anything official that I've seen.
Yes, that man. I’m going on only the articles I’ve seen and the news reports he’s been interviewed on in the last few days.
He was hit in the arm, apparently the bullet grazed him. If he in fact jumped out to get the gunman’s attention off the woman trying to stop him, then he DID do a heroic thing.
As for asking the other guards to “give me your gun”, that’s just dumb. They were private citizens with concealed carry permits and personal weapons.
I don’t give up my gun for anyone, other than an authorized law enforcement official, and I sure am not handing it over to someone in the midst of a possible combat situation, whether HE thinks I’m right or not.
Right before Sunday's 11 a.m. church service, security guards escorted Larry Bourbannais off the property. Bourbannais was shot in the arm during last week's shootings. Church leaders say he was disruptive.
"I do not think he was a danger, not a threat. But because of the emotional climate now, we decided he should not attend this morning," said Senior Pastor Brady Boyd. "We felt he was volatile and (we) didn't want any disruptions during the service."
Boyd said they will continue to reach out to him and try to reconcile with him.
