Memphis cops thwart mass shooting at Jewish school by taking down 'former student' armed with a gun as he fired shots and tried to force his way inside
2023-08-01
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
Crime, or Terror?
Jewish day schools, along with synagogues and Jewish community centers, got serious about physical security after 9/11. A major expense, but one that has proved necessary. One wonders what brought this middle aged, former student halfway across the country all of a sudden, though — it’s their usual sort of threat.
  • Staff at Margolin Hebrew Academy/Feinstone Yeshiva of the South called Memphis police at 12:20pm on Monday to report a gunman near the school

  • The school shared a photo of the gunman, describing him as in his 40s and armed with a handgun, driving a red pickup with California plates

  • He was stopped by police nearby and shot by officers: he remains in a critical condition in hospital. Congressman Steve Cohen said he was a former student

  • 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.

    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.

    #2  The shooting script is still undergoing some tweaking.

    Now, they are saying the 40+ year old shooter is himself Jewish and a former student at the school.

    Maybe Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen (D) will again announce the final cut as his did for the Nashville shooter back in late March 2023.

    #1  "After a broadcast was sent out to look for the suspect's vehicle, a maroon Dodge pickup truck with California plates, officers were told he might be in Bartlett, Tennessee. That information proved to be accurate. "

    NO NAME was released, but the police have the
    info.
    I guess MSM/Social Media need time to clean up his postings.

    I wonder if he is/was another Jewish hating Democrat Liberal, like the last 2 were?
