No one was injured at the school.

School officials gave police a photo and a description of the suspect’s maroon colored Dodge Ram pickup truck.

A short time later, Memphis police officers found a vehicle matching the description and stopped the driver. The suspect got out of the truck with a gun in his hand and was shot by an officer, Crowe said.

The suspect was taken to a local hospital and is in critical condition.

I am glad they caught the perp.

Whenever you hear this, some kind of anti Jewish conspiracy paranoia springs to mind.

Most likely, yes. It's hard to believe that in 2023, anti-Semitism is alive and well in the US.

Police have also not identified the suspect but Congressman Steve Cohen (D-Memphis) said in a statement that the suspect was Jewish himself and a former student at the school.

“We have recently learned that the shooter at the Margolin Hebrew Academy was himself Jewish and a former student at the school. I am pleased the academy had effective security and that the police acted quickly to protect students,” Cohen said.

Family and friends are identifying the suspect as Joel Bowman, a member of the Jewish community and former student at the school.

So maybe just our (all too) typical American school attempted shooting.
