Man With a Gun Tries To Enter Mamaroneck, NY Middle School

Fox News

A Westchester school was locked down this morning when a middle-aged man tried to enter with a gun on his waist.

Was his name and address on the Journal-News map?

[COBOL2Java]

Was he a policeman?

[dforest]

I have no doubt whatsoever that this was a set up. They let this guy just walk away and no cops got him?

I bet that newspaper is behind this.

According to NBC’s Channel 4 New York:

“Schools in Mamaroneck, N.Y. are locked down after a man with a gun showed up at a middle school and tried to get in, officials said.

The man left without incident, officials said.

He tried to access Hommocks Middle School through a side entrance that was locked, and then went to the main entrance, where he was stopped.

A campus worker asked him why he was there and noticed he had a gun, according to an email sent to parents. The man said he had the gun because he works as a security guard.

He said he wanted to retrieve an item of clothing he left in the pool area over the weekend, according to Mamaroneck Police.

Lt. Robert Koziak said the man was described as “pleasant.”

He was not allowed in, and left.

Parents were notified that schools were secured, and that afternoon and evening activities had been canceled.”

Society is utterly stupid.

[MWestMom]

That’s in Westchester county - one of the counties on the map published by the journal.

They have a pool at their school?

This story is weird all the way around. Glad the man was “pleasant”.

[MWestMom]

Pardon me, I meant “The Journal.”

Yep this smells of a set up

Obama must have had a tizzy and told his minions, "I'm not hearing enough kids hitting the ground! I want GUN CONTROL! Pop me some more kids!"

Would you really be surprised if you found out later that's what happened?

[rockabyebaby]

Test run?

[Right Wing Assault]

Surely he must have broken a “gun-free zone” law, and they let him walk away? Hmmm.

You and I try this and we’re in BIG doo doo.

Nope, I've been saying it since the day it happened. I would not be surprised to find out HUSSEIN was behind the school shooting AND the movie theater shooting.

[lightman]

That “Weapons Prohibited” sticker sure slowed him down. /sarc

After "Fast and Furious", I would be surprised if he wasn't.

High schools let middle aged men swim in their
pools?

Originally thought this was going to be an anti gun protester.

[Jim from C-Town]

I am not sure of the laws in every state, but private security guards are often private police officers and are allowed to carry firearms even in areas where they are deemed as ‘gun free’. They act as police officers with the power to detain and patrol.

If he was a private police officer, and he was pleasant and had his gun holstered and visible, what the heck is the problem?

[the OlLine Rebel]

It was a middle school - double why do they have a pool?

Maybe the man WAS security - LOL - don’t know their own.

“If he was a private police officer, and he was pleasant and had his gun holstered and visible, what the heck is the problem?”

Maybe because he tried first at a side door? A bit odd. There is also no evidence he is a PO or some such.

I agree it could be all innocuous, and the man was “nice”, but it’s still a weird story.
