    Texas Police Shoot Man Who Disarmed Possible Church Shooter

    Police in Amarillo shot an innocent man who helped foil a possible church shooting.

    The shooting happened shortly after 9 a.m. Feb. 14 at the Faith City Mission, a faith-based outreach organization. Police said Joshua Len Jones, 35, of Amarillo, barged into a church building at Faith City Mission, pulled out a gun and was holding about 100 congregants and church staff hostage. In the time between when police were dispatched and when officers arrived, a handful of churchgoers wrestled Jones to the ground. One of the congregants was able to grab Jones' gun. Officers entered the building and saw the churchgoer holding the gun and opened fire, according to the Amarillo Police Department. The churchgoer was hospitalized in stable condition.

    If the local LEO's don't know which teachers have CCP's they're as unprepared as the Broward Co. Sheriff's Dept.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    No, that is a reason not to arm police. It has nothing to do with teachers.

    Sad. No doubt our self-appointed experts will be happy the police rushed in and shot the first person holding a gun.

    It will be interesting to see how they spin this one. It isn't the first time someone that was actually the good guy, gets shot. I wonder if they will start seeing why BLM was so adamant about the police and quick trigger fingers....

    I don't know if that burden of proof can be quantified for any local law enforcement agency in a situation like this. The time spent researching the CCP holders of a facility before entering is another aspect of the argument, that places high expectation on LEOs that are not exactly known for their situational awareness ability.

    They have this new thing now it is called a photograph, Maybe you have heard of it. Those teachers that have CCW permits could have photo's on file with the police?

    No you are right lets just pass something that will make liberals sleep better, but will not save a single life.

    In such a situation, and from a distance, it's impractical to expect police to be carrying around an iPad comparing pictures before shooting. They need another system.

    The gun should have been unloaded immediately and placed away from where the intruder was being held. But the average Joe at church would probably not be thinking that way.
