A security guard at the Amazon warehouse facility in West Jefferson — whom police say shot twice at close range at his supervisor and missed and later shot a Columbus police officer's bulletproof vest before he was fatally shot by law enforcement — was not supposed to have a gun on duty, police said at a press conference Monday.
Ali Hamsa Yusuf, 22, was fatally shot by law enforcement after he shot a Columbus police officer during a confrontation with law enforcement at Georgesville and Clime North roads on Columbus' West Side. That shooting and another one Saturday evening in which another armed suspect in a domestic violence homicide was killed by police, were the subject of the press conference held at Columbus police headquarters, Downtown.
The bullet from Yusuf's gun that hit the unidentified Columbus police officer, a four-year member of the Division of Police whom police are not identifying under Marsy's Law, fortunately struck him in his bulletproof vest and he was not seriously injured, Columbus police Chief Elaine Bryant said during the press conference. He was transported in stable condition to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, Downtown, where he was treated and released Sunday night. Bryant told reporters Monday that the officer was at home and "doing okay."
West Jefferson Chief Brandon Smith said that security at the Amazon facility is contracted with another company and the security guards are unarmed. The supervisor told investigating officers he noticed his trainee had been gone for longer than what a normal break would be and then heard shots being fired, he said.
The supervisor hit the ground when the gunshots were fired at him, then ran. The suspect gave chase for about 15 yards before running out the front of the building, Smith said.

“Ali Hamsa Yusuf” “was not supposed to have a gun on duty”
LOL, as if anyone with that name would be unarmed.
I think that’s a pretty crazy thing. How do you not know that there are cameras on you watching your every move? I think this was suicide by cop.
The impact even with a vest will cause deep bruising and cracked ribs. By all reports it hurts like hell.

Ali Hamsa Yusuf Raghead - just another all American kid
Keep in mind that Amazon facilities are the only places where one goes through a metal detector to LEAVE, not to enter.
She looks like a real tough cookie. Good for her!

Another gun law needs to be passed, obviously.
I worked the Help Desk at Securitas. Based in Westlake Village, CA 91361.
Los Angeles is about 40 miles south.
There is my navy blue 2003 Honda Accord Sedan LX I had. (next to red car)

Looking towards the office down the hall. It was on the left, one office door from the door you see at the far end.

See the photo at the news link. Shot point blank and he missed both times....
FTA: “He almost executed me,” he tells the dispatcher.
He tells the dispatcher that no one else was shot at and he believed the shooter may have left the building. He describes the shooter as being about 6 feet tall, wearing black pants and uniform shirt with ‘Securitas’ on it. He said the shooter had been training with him for two or three weeks.
The name sounds muslim. A new employee who smuggles a gun in. Sounds like a planned terrorist operation.
Thanks for posting.
