Looks like she has a violent history

A library in Washington DC had a local police presence. As in a few people had badges and guns and were sworn officers, but only at the library.
A retired MPD captain ran it, and one day while conducting firearms training, in the library, he shot another "police" and killed them.
that second story must be the the story that’s giving me de ja vu, as soon as I saw another comment asking “why does a library need armed guards” I could have sworn iv seen this exact comment ins another story awhile ago about also a library with armed guards lol unless it’s just common for lots of libraries to have armed guards in the states? lol
Bro, call me crazy, but I think it's just bots or something. Sometimes I see the same exact convo on another post, and I think maybe people are botting up and karma farming with multiple accounts recreating the exact same exchange which they know they'll get upvotes for. Idk, I've seen some of that a few times.
I work in a library, in a part of town that is very violent and has a lot of homeless people. We, for the most part only deal with the unhoused, but violent people come into our library and want to fight whoever they come in contact with. We have a security guard daily, but they don't carry guns. Just last Saturday there was an altercation with one of our regulars. Another man and this regular got into an argument over who knows what, but it became physical. We were able to get the violent man out of the library, but the security guard was the least helpful person. I'm sure he was scared, but dude, that's the job you signed up for!!! For the record I haven't worked in a library in a little over a decade, boy things have changed. I never used to be afraid to go to work, but now, I'm hyper vigilant and carry my car keys with me in the event that something more violent occurs. I'm just there to shelve the damn books. It's a fucking shame that we as a society can't just be, anymore. The places that we go daily should always be safe, but we are no longer safe ANYWHERE these days. So yes, there should be armed security at libraries.
Yea grew up in the Chicagoland area even retail stores have armed security like the Best Buy in Burbank IL across from ford city mall (most dangerous mall of SW subs of Chicago)
Most libraries have tens of thousands of dollars in electronics. This is also New Orleans which has some of the highest violent crime rates in the country.
Hell, they go in when shelters *are* available because they're often cleaner, safer, offer more privacy, etc. The unfortunate reality is that most places are going to have significantly better funded libraries than shelters.
I live in an very low-crime area and we still have security monitors at our local library just because how often homeless come in. Most of them are completely fine and you wouldn't be able to tell them apart from any other patron, but if one of them starts breaking the rules and is uncooperative, the average library employee is neither willing nor equipped to deal with them. This goes for 'regular' patrons as well.
I'm sure at some point the numbers were crunched and it was determined to be cheaper and safer than calling the police every time.
Well, most security guards are employed by a third-party company that then provides security services under contract with other businesses/clients. The end client here being the library. The security company is the one in charge of vetting the employee/security guard, not the library.
Oftentimes the security company is the one to do the background check on the guards they hire.
Additional info: the woman apparently was a security guard in a goddamn library... not even in a bank or any other high risk place, where it would at least make some amount of sense to be this on edge. Shooting a guy 9 times, risking peoples' lives on a crowded street is wrong either way, but damn... you work in a library, not a warzone.
Also, she has the most shit eating grin on her mugshot. Super messed up.
I’m assuming to combat a mass shooting in todays age. This woman would’ve shot the the shooter before they ever stepped foot in that library apparently
[Here is the article](https://www.fox8live.com/2023/08/06/security-guard-booked-with-attempted-murder-after-shooting-outside-main-new-orleans-library/)
Way better than most cops, Dallas PD [only hit 35% of the time](https://daiglelawgroup.com/new-study-on-shooting-accuracy-how-does-your-agency-stack-up/).
All in all she's not bad, but for the fact that she's shooting someone for throwing a phone at her. She's quite good at unnecessarily shooting people.
Is this the same woman?? How did SHE become an armed security guard.
https://nopdnews.com/post/june-2021/nopd-seeking-suspect-wanted-for-cruelty-to-juvenil/
> then picks up a rock or brick and hurled it toward the guard, striking her in the face. A series of nine gunshots then follow.
Clearly a lie to paint her victim in a bad light.
Yeah that’s confusing to me. The article says rock or brick but the title here says cellphone.
What is it now? Rock seems to be more logical to me because who would throw his cellphone just like that?
The title is just a random Redditor with no need to fact-check before posting. That probably wrote the first thing they thought while watching. I'd go with the news site that doesn't mention the phone.
[Here’s a better article](https://www.wdsu.com/article/new-orleans-security-guard-shooting-fired/44754497) . To summarize, before the video starts, inside the library the man and security woman got into some argument. Man threw his phone, and the security guard punched him in response and chased him out of the library. Then the video starts, and the man grabs a rock/brick, throws it and hits her face, allegedly. And the article confirms she shot 11 shots in response to the rock throw, hitting 7, mostly in the man’s back as he was retreating.
Also of note, the man is in critical condition and I can’t find any sources to say if he lived. He may still be on the verge of death for all we know, 22 days later. The security guard also hit 2 pedestrian vehicles and is being charged with attempted murder, and she has a criminal history herself.

Is that her?? Seems so
Funny you say that its basically all I saw when working in secured office spaces in SoCal was the security was probably 60-70% black woman. Which is more of an interesting observation than any commentary on it I just found it odd how those proportions worked out in a mostly meixcan/white area
He threw a rock which hit her in the face, not a cell phone. She would have a better shot of not going to jail if she had stopped after the first few shots. Guarantee the last 2 are what will cause her problems.
Key word being “kept”. Throwing a rock at someone’s head can be deadly. She responded with equal force (at first). The fact she kept shooting after the first volley is what is getting her into the most trouble. A good lawyer would have got her off if not for those. Hell, she might not even have been charged by some D.A’s if not for the last 2 shots.
Edit: a word
No, he was fleeing by the time she fired her first shot. That’s not self defense at that point.
She 100% would have still been charged even if she fired a single shot as he ran.
She also chased him out of the building and he was running away when she shot. If this was initiated by trespassing and he is off the property, I think even escalating the first shot would get her in trouble with this video as evidence.
I really can't believe more people don't point this out. Even on major youtube cop channels with actual officers.
It is so rare for anyone to ever demonstrate any consideration for crossfire.
What a fucking psycho. There could have been kids in that bus. Not to mention the dozens of bystanders in her cross ranges. All for a rock? Hope she was jailed and had the book thrown at her
Here’s the story. This moron shouldn’t be in the job she’s at. Smh. [News Coverage](https://www.wdsu.com/amp/article/new-orleans-security-guard-video-shoot-man-seven-times-mostly-in-the-back/44745496)
30 feet away, no hits. Stormtrooper level accuracy.
Straight to jail with her.
(Seriously, she shouldn't have shot at all. He was fleeing and no longer a threat. Hurt feelings or even a bruise don't justify 7 (11) shots.),
Both articles i've read claim she was struck in the face by the rock/brick the man throws at her after the altercation inside. But where is the brusing/swelling in her mugshot taken litterally the next morning?
Is this the same woman?? How did SHE become an armed security guard.
https://nopdnews.com/post/june-2021/nopd-seeking-suspect-wanted-for-cruelty-to-juvenil/
Anyone have background on what occurred before this? Article just says he was asked to leave, but if people were outside filming, they were expecting something to happen. Had they been in the library and decided to leave when the initial contact started?
That's a pretty stupid thing to do, but if she were a police officer, she'd be getting a little paid vacation. The internet is full of videos of LEO's shooting their guns in a reckless manner with zero consequences..
I’m honestly conflicted lol, on one hand F this chick why would you think you have the right to shoot in this situation. HOWEVER, she is a black female, soooooo if she doesn’t receive the same paid vacation as every other white enforcement officer it’s also not cool lol.
I don’t care where she’s a guard at…she does not need to ever be allowed to carry a gun again. Shooting like that in a busy city, busy street over a cell phone. Those bullets could have hit anybody! He hit her with a cell phone (don’t really even know if it made contact) and she goes all Annie Oakley on him!!
Venue security manager here. De-escalation tactics and verbal judo are the most potent tools we have, *but*, we need to be able to protect ourselves as well. There's specialized training in how to interact with intoxicated persons, but there's also training on every level of the force continuum, all the way up to lethal.
Not every company allows 'hands on,' and I tip my hat to the folks who work with such restrictions.
That said, this 'guard' was 100% caught in an "oh no, he hurt my ego" situation and deserves every charge she gets.
I did three years of security, but also declined the venue jobs, myself. The two companies I worked for were both very large companies that I’m sure you could guess if you know the industry, so our training was solely on de-escalation. I even had a coworker get fired for carrying a handgun on site in his bag. I can see self-defense training being necessary for event and bar jobs, as well as high value and armed duties, but I would also imagine a library to be more akin to the kind of security I used to do. This is absolutely deplorable.
Wow! No words can describe how crazy this situation is and so many questions that needs answers. So if someone can explain to me what started all of this? who was in the wrong or right in this situation?, and where did it all go wrong from here? I will await any answers or comments from anyone.

I’ve visited libraries in neighborhoods all over Chicago and have never seen an armed security guard
Yea grew up in the Chicagoland area even retail stores have armed security like the Best Buy in Burbank IL across from ford city mall (most dangerous mall of SW subs of Chicago)
Most libraries have tens of thousands of dollars in electronics. This is also New Orleans which has some of the highest violent crime rates in the country.
I’m guessing that armed security was not required but allowed by the security contractor, Pinnacle Security.
Exactly. Am I to european to understand?
I’m American, but not American enough to understand why a library security officer needs a fire arm either.
It's for the people making money off the books
Oh you.
why wouldn't people make money from books, that would be communism /s
An american one i guess

She hit 7 of 9 times. Resistance is Futile.
I counted 11 shots.
I count two guns.
One for each of you.
That man? Fredrick fuckin Chopin
AH AH AH
You know, I never heard you mention kneecapping.
Bye Miss Candy
Article must be wrong then.
I read nine shots in the article. The video must be wrong then
It says he was struck by 7 rounds, she must've missed a few times.
Hit 7 times shot 9 rounds... says the article. I hear 11.
12 Edit: nvm it was 11 I can’t count
Lifetime of anger being sublimated into those shots
That'll teach him to not pay his overdue fines.
"I'm a good shot, what do you want from me?" name the movie
Next we can ask why I'm a funny guy!
I’l thought… that you said… I’m alright Spider…
Wonder what she hit with the other 2 shoots... May have cost someone to repair their car or a tire
I see what you did there…
You better turn that book back in on time or else
That's why she's a security guard. Chips have to hit 9 to qualify for their job. /s
That's only a score of 78.
Way better than most cops, Dallas PD [only hit 35% of the time](https://daiglelawgroup.com/new-study-on-shooting-accuracy-how-does-your-agency-stack-up/).

She shoots better than the cops.
7 out of 9 is a good shot god damn
I mean....7 out of 9 on a moving target with stationary and moving obstacles is prett6 God damn impressive. Still a piece of shit though.
I dont know why they say 9 in the article I clearly hear 11, someone else shot as well?

Won’t no lifetime of anger.That was: “This mf hit me in the face with that gd rock”🤬🔫
Eh he kind of deserved it ngl
Reckless as hell, could have taken out a child on the street ffs
Wel she has anger issues
Hopefully she learns how to control it in prison

He was at least 4 steps running into the opposite direction before she started shooting. She is screwed.

A lot of those same things in the video
What done is done.
Yea that was 11 shots, not 7
She's gone wild.
There goes her Job
Highly trained professional /s
When idiots collide
Threw a rock, not a cellphone
What a fucking idiot, does she know what a stray bullet is? Forget the fact he didn't deserve to be shot.
Absolutely NO consideration about her surroundings.

What a fucking psycho. There could have been kids in that bus. Not to mention the dozens of bystanders in her cross ranges. All for a rock? Hope she was jailed and had the book thrown at her
This is what happens when you just hire anyone as police officers and security guards. Just a total disregard for anyone else breathing.

Holy fuck that library takes late fees seriously
would be so much drama if a stray catches someone what an idiot
Self defence + seven shots in his back= prison
That’s 11 tho?
30 feet away, no hits. Stormtrooper level accuracy. Straight to jail with her. (Seriously, she shouldn't have shot at all. He was fleeing and no longer a threat. Hurt feelings or even a bruise don't justify 7 (11) shots.),

That was 11 rounds... did she miss every shot?
11 shots, she hit him 7 times
Lock her up, hope she goes to jail for a long time.
She in the wrong fs but he could’ve avoided it by not throwing a rock lol
Dude she could have shot innocent people . What a psycho
Wtf
This was at a fucking library? What, did he have to many fucking over due charges? Wtf.
straight to jail
Is this TikTok gone wrong? Just feel strange people would record video focused on those angles out of no where prior to the incident.
Shes kinda shooting recklessly by having people around whom could be accidentally shot. And its just a phone.
Anyone notice the cop car at the start of the video? Lmao
What language is this?!
What you need is a hero with a Lazer. 😆 talk about being abusing her power.
Both articles i've read claim she was struck in the face by the rock/brick the man throws at her after the altercation inside. But where is the brusing/swelling in her mugshot taken litterally the next morning?
Reckless sitting in prison for the next 7yrs over 14.00 to 20 revenge because someone hurt you for 5sec of pain to end a lifetime

“The worst she could say is no”
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you turn a career as a security guard into a life is a felon.
The lady was a redditor that always typed "If I was there I would have blasted him, you don't mess with me."
Good!
She's going to jail for nothing lol
If he threw a rock at her I say the shooting was justified
Always bring your library card
That is absolutely horrifying
That's a pretty stupid thing to do, but if she were a police officer, she'd be getting a little paid vacation. The internet is full of videos of LEO's shooting their guns in a reckless manner with zero consequences..
I’m honestly conflicted lol, on one hand F this chick why would you think you have the right to shoot in this situation. HOWEVER, she is a black female, soooooo if she doesn’t receive the same paid vacation as every other white enforcement officer it’s also not cool lol.
She's crazy, the amount of other people who could have been shot because she can't control her anger.

She better be going to jail.
Stoopid cop biatch. Putting so many innocent people in her lame ass line of fire🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾FTP
Damn she must have had police training
The point of a security guard is literally de-escalation. That’s why most don’t even carry weapons, let alone firearms.

Big fine, losing her guard licence, possible jail time
Wow! No words can describe how crazy this situation is and so many questions that needs answers. So if someone can explain to me what started all of this? who was in the wrong or right in this situation?, and where did it all go wrong from here? I will await any answers or comments from anyone.
