From the Jewish Press:
“11:30 AM The Jewish guard killed by a terrorist after midnight Saturday saved the deaths of countless Jews by his standing outside the synagogue and absorbing the lethal bullet in the head at the hands of the attacker at a Bat Mitzvah celebration.
The killer fled and did not enter the synagogue, according to Copenhagen Jewish leader Rabbi Yair Melchior.”
So now security guards have a new tactic: Get shot dead. That’ll scare off any perp. Just stand there and take a round to the head. Hope their pay scale is high enough.
I doubt it is a paid position.
Almost certainly a volunteer; probably off-duty cop who happens to be Jewish.
