Police sources tell 7 Action News that a women's basketball coach from Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School shot two men who attacked him as he was walking two basketball players to their cars in the school parking lot. Police sources say the coach was walking the two girls to their cars when two men allegedly approached and one pulled out a gun and grabbed him by his chain necklace. The coach then pulled out his gun and shot both of them, according to sources. The man who shot the attackers was 70 years old, according to police. One of the attackers was found dead in the median on Lafayette Boulevard, and the other was taken to a local hospital, according to police sources. We've learned that both of the men had attended the high school, and one had been recently expelled. Police sources say the coach has a Concealed Pistol License and is reportedly a reserve police officer. They say he is fully cooperating with authorities. Crime scene tape could be seen on Lafayette Boulevard and also around the back parking lot of the school near the gym. Students could be seen being walked to their cars late Friday night.
Thanks for the ping; post. HOORAY coach! Basketball/life coach BUMP!
"Reserve deputy". I believe that police and other officers are "exempt" from the "no-defense school zones" laws.
And indeed, that is the answer for those who don't want to allow teachers and school staff to CCW.....train'em and deputize'em.
Then make him a martyr and get the damn law rescinded..........
A now retired good friend of mine was a vice-principal in a Warren school district and he and fellow male teachers used to carry concealed weapons until the gun free zone law went into effect back around 2002 or 2004.
Nobody, not even the principal knew they carried except their own little group........
No it does not, carrying while off duty is at the discretion of the officer.........
Yes, Civil disobedience.!
These times call for more of this.!
I carry all the time. No permit.
I am a criminal because of a stupid law.
This accepted practice of should not have ever happened.
