Texas Courthouse Shooting

Post by gilly32 »

From CNN.com

"There was a defendant on trial. It was break time, lunchtime, and he apparently shot three people, maybe four," Gist told CNN.
Not sure if they are stating that the defendant was the shooter or not, but if so, how does he get a gun into the courthouse?
"The right to keep and bear arms is rooted in both self-defense and insurance against government’s propensity toward tyranny. The right pre-existed the Constitution. Thus, the Second Amendment is not its source. The right to keep and bear arms is natural and inalienable; the Second Amendment protects it, and Congress has no legitimate power to restrict it." - Senator John Cornyn (R., Tex.), as reported in the National Review on July 4, 2016

From what I see it happened out front of the courthouse and the suspect was going to court that morning. Unknown if he was a defendant or crazy victim. When multiple bailiffs heard the shots they went outside and returned fire wounding the suspect and stopping the threat.

I am not a lawyer. My answers are based on research, knowledge, and are generally backed up with facts, the Ohio Revised Code, or the United States Code.
