Man tries to climb wall of elementary school with a sledgehammer, dies of apparent coronary arrest

2023-09-21

[BLAZE] A man died after several neighborhood residents confronted him for allegedly trying to climb the wall of an elementary school with a sledgehammer, California police said.

The bizarre incident unfolded at McKinley Elementary School in Long Beach at about 2:30 p.m. while school was in session on Tuesday.

The suspect had already climbed a fence and gotten into the parking lot of the school, police said. When he tried to scale another barrier to the campus, he was pulled down by a group of men who detained him.

Police said they were called to the scene after the man called about a home invasion, but when they arrived they were directed to the school where the man had been detained.

Police said the man was already unresponsive when they arrived at the school. Paramedics confirmed the man was dead at the scene.

#5 Sounds like he did not have the cardiac fitness to use his personal EAP response for a house invasion by the Norse god Loki. Surely, the plan looked good on paper but it did not meet the test of real world circumstances. Maybe the humidity got him.

#1 Paramedics confirmed the man was dead at the scene.

"In falling from the wall, the man apparently struck himself in the head with the hammer a number of times when he bounced."
