I knew Joel Myrick when he was the Principal of our local HS here. He was one of my clients. I thought him to be an honorable and responsible man with integrity.

Was that in Pearl, or Corinth?

From MRC:

Much the same is true in the case of Joel Myrick, says Lott. Out of 687 stories he found on the shootings in Pearl, just 19 made reference to Myrick.

Some of those that mentioned him left his gun out of the story. CBS's Dan Rather, for example, reported, "Myrick eventually subdued the gunman." How he "subdued" him Rather didn't say.
