A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-police-respond-to-shooting-at-virginia-walmart/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virginia</a> Walmart night supervisor left behind a chilling &#8220;death note&#8221; before turning the store’s break room into a bloodbath Tuesday night, killing six store employees and injuring six others, the Chesapeake Police Department revealed Friday.
The gunman has been identified by officials as a night supervisor and 12-year employee of the Chesapeake store; he reportedly turned the gun on himself after going on the shooting spree.
&#8220;Sorry God, I&#8217;ve failed you, this was not your fault but my own,&#8221; the gunman said in a note found on his phone. &#8220;I failed to listen to the groans of the holy spirit which made me a poor representation of You. I was harassed by idiots with low intelligence and a lack of wisdom. I remained strong through most of the torment but my dignity was completely taken away beyond repair by my phone getting hacked.”
“I can’t say that they were the only ones that lacked intelligence and wisdom, I was just as guilty and failed my management team and everyone that ever loved me by convincing them that I was normal,&#8221; the note continued.
&#8220;A few months back I had overheard [redacted] talking to [redacted] and he told me that he had been trying to get rid of me since day one. After I heard that I lashed out,&#8221; the shooter said. &#8220;The associates gave me twisted grins, mocked me and celebrated my downfall the last day. That&#8217;s why they suffer the same fate as me.&#8221;
The gunman, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, said in the note that his &#8220;true intent was never to murder anyone believe it or not,&#8221; and he &#8220;was actually one of the most loving people in the world if you would get to know me.&#8221;
&#8220;I just wanted a wife that was equally yoked as I and obsessed over the thought; however, I didn&#8217;t deserve a wife,&#8221; he wrote.
“My only wish would have been to start over from scratch and that my parents would have paid closer attention to my social deficits,&#8221; the note said. &#8220;Sorry everyone but I did not plan this, I promise things just fell in place like I was led by the Satan.&#8221;
&#8220;My God forgive me for what I&#8217;m going to do,&#8221; the last line read.

Some Walmart employees said the gunman was targeting specific workers, while also shooting wildly.
&#8220;I just watched 3 of my coworkers/friends be killed in front of me,&#8221; one employee, Donya Prioleau, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/deaths-reported-virginia-walmart-gunman-dead-police-say-2022-11-23/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a Facebook post. &#8220;[Redacted] killed them in cold blood &#8230; I cannot unsee what happened in that break room.&#8221;
Police have confirmed the suspect used a 9mm handgun that was legally purchased from a local store on the same day he went on the shooting spree. The suspect had no criminal history.

Cenk Uygur&#8217;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yM64v82pKM4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latest unhinged rant</a> saw the Young Turks host attack Catholic priests, accuse the right-wing of cheering on pedophilia, and make a bizarre supposition about why Tim Pool wears a wool cap.
The volatile leftist&#8217;s diatribe on his internet show was triggered by Saturday night&#8217;s mass shooting in a Colorado Springs gay bar, which he erroneously said Pool and other conservatives applauded. Several liberals have claimed conservative opposition to pedophilia, radical gender theory, and grooming children through drag shows is putting LGBT lives at risk.
“The right-wing loves pedophiles,” Uygur said. &#8220;There’s no end to the depravity of right-wing media.”
A particular observation by Pool in response to the shooting, which left five dead, seemed to set off Uygur. Initial speculation swirled that the suspect, whose lawyers have just revealed identifies as &#8220;non-binary,&#8221; launched his attack in Club Q because it was set to host a drag show for children the next day.
“We shouldn’t tolerate pedophiles grooming kids. Club Q had a grooming event,” Pool said, before suggesting the challenge facing decent people is “how to prevent the violence and stop the grooming.”
Uygur took the comment to mean that Pool was somehow justifying violence.
“He’s a monstrous right-winger,” Uygur shouted. “He’s a terrible, terrible person. [He thinks] &#8216;all gay people are pedophiles and groomers and we should all attack them and do all these horrible things so we can goad our lunatic audience.’ And yes, Tim Pool, Matt Walsh, Tucker Carlson, you all have lunatics in your audience and you weaponize them and you know it.&#8221;
“I’m sick of these right-wingers,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Look at it. They’re almost celebrating it! I mean, he nearly brought pom-poms to the shooting!”
Rage against pedophilia, Uygur said, should instead be directed at the Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America.
“What do we know about the giant cases of pedophilia in this country?&#8221; he asked his audience. &#8220;Number one is Catholic priests, one of the most conservative professions in America.
“And the right-wing’s like, ‘Yes! I love how they molest the little kids like that! Go get ‘em, Boy Scouts! Go get ‘em, priests!’” he charged.
“They love the Boy Scouts. A nest of vipers and pedophiles and groomers, okay? And the right-wing’s like, ‘Yes! The Boy Scouts! I love how they molest the little kids like that! Go get ‘em Boy Scouts! Go get ‘em priests!’ Tell me I’m wrong. You guys love the Boy Scouts and priests. You never criticize them.”
Uygur brought the pedophilia fulmination back to his initial target, Pool, with a strange explanation for why the YouTube and podcast star often sports a ski cap.
“The reason Tim Pool wears a beanie is because he’s trying to contain the pedophilia that’s in his head,&#8221; Uygur said. &#8220;That’s why he’s always talking about it. He’s seeing it everywhere. Why? Because he’s projecting.”
However bizarre Uygur&#8217;s attack on Pool, priests, and the Boy Scouts may seem, he will have to work harder to top his most unhinged rant.
“If I were the benevolent dictator of the world, I would legalize bestiality where you are giving — you’re pleasuring the animal,&#8221; Uygur said in 2013. &#8220;You see what I’m saying?”

Police have responded in force to a reported shooting at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia.
According to <a href="https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/chesapeake/police-respond-to-shooting-at-chesapeake-walmart/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local news outlet</a> WAVY, law enforcement officers at the scene just off Battlefield Blvd. have confirmed that there are multiple fatalities and injuries, and are warning people to stay away for the time being.

Dispatchers confirmed that a call came in at 10:12 p.m. local time, reporting that there had been a shooting at the store located at 1521 Sam’s Circle.
Leo Kosinski, speaking for the Chesapeake Police Department, told WAVY that people believe the alleged shooter is among the dead — but they have not independently confirmed that information yet. Details regarding the number of fatalities and extent of injuries have not yet been reported.
Video taken at the scene showed a large police presence outside the store while officers attempt to clear the building and further evaluate the situation.

Police Respond To Shooting At Virginia Walmart

Crime

Violent Crime

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly">Megyn Kelly</a> slammed Democrats and those on the left who have been politicizing the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/authorities-to-charge-club-q-shooting-suspect-with-hate-crime">Club Q shooting</a> at a gay nightclub in Colorado that left five people dead, 19 others injured.
During the Sirius XM &#8220;The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6xAMJKgwIc">podcast</a> on Tuesday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly">host</a> opened her show by calling out people like House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11450139/Nancy-Pelosi-lays-blame-MAGA-Republicans-Colorado-gay-nightclub-shooting.html">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) and mainstream media members — whom she said &#8220;accused Conservatives&#8221; of having some responsibility for the shooting Saturday night.
&#8220;The left and Democrat leaders continuing to place blame on Conservatives before the motive&#8217;s even known in connection with this Colorado nightclub shooting,&#8221; Kelly explained. &#8220;I mean this happens every time. Every time.&#8221;
&#8220;Nancy Pelosi going as far to accuse people who supported Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency for the deadly shooting,&#8221; she added. &#8220;They can&#8217;t even respect the dead for two minutes. I mean before the bodies get cold, they want to pin it on politics.&#8221;

&#8220;Can we wait and see?&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/megyn-kelly-gets-emotional-on-air-after-revealing-major-loss-in-her-family">Kelly</a> continued. &#8220;Cause this guy pulled guns on and threatened to bomb his own mother a year ago.  So it&#8217;s possible he had some mental health problems that were unresolved. It&#8217;s a situation similar to the Nancy Pelosi attack on her husband by this guy who was clearly a lunatic — whose most recent writings seemed out there and aligned with Qanon, but we&#8217;re talking about a mentally unwell person.&#8221;
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/screw-her-megyn-kelly-blasts-olivia-wildes-attack-on-jordan-peterson-says-metoo-was-never-meant-to-bastardize-men">former Fox News host</a> then introduced her guest, OutKick&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/clay-travis">Clay Travis</a>, as the host talked about how the mainstream media &#8220;jumped to this is right-wing inspired violence&#8221; before &#8220;the bodies were cold.&#8221;
&#8220;&#8216;This is because of the Republicans,'&#8221; Kelly explained, noting what the media had been saying. She then shared how the media had been blaming the shooting on [former President Donald] Trump and even &#8220;Matt Walsh and The Daily Wire folks who have been outspoken about Drag Queen shows for children and the mutilation of minors.&#8221;
&#8220;And so somehow because this is a gay club, LGBTQ, this is their fault,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It&#8217;s a pattern, we&#8217;ve seen it so many times, Clay, but it still is alarming and it&#8217;s deeply immoral.&#8221;
&#8220;I think this is a failure of the media,&#8221; Travis replied.  &#8220;I understand why it&#8217;s sensational and why everybody rushes to what it covered the mass shooting. But when we cover those mass shootings, we ignore what&#8217;s happening in many cities across the country every single weekend &#8230;&#8221;
Kelly said she agreed the media largely ignores shootings happening in all the time in places like Baltimore and Chicago and said, &#8220;They don&#8217;t care. They only care about these things because they can look for what they think is a political motive&#8221; or a way to &#8220;get rid of the guns.&#8221;

U.S. Army veteran Richard Fierro told reporters that &#8220;combat mode&#8221; kicked in when a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/at-least-5-dead-18-wounded-in-mass-shooting-at-colorado-gay-nightclub-white_check_mark-eyes-heavy_plus_sign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gunman opened fire</a> Saturday at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado, while he was there with his wife and daughter to celebrate a friend&#8217;s birthday.
According to a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/21/us/colorado-springs-shooting-club-q-hero.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The New York Times, Fierro and his friends — along with everyone else in the club — ran for cover and dropped to the ground immediately when the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/im-sick-of-this-st-lori-lightfoot-rages-over-colorado-shooting-gets-dragged-because-shes-mayor-of-chicago/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shooting</a> started. But as the reality of the situation dawned on Fierro, he sprang into action.
&#8220;I don’t know exactly what I did, I just went into combat mode. I just know I have to kill this guy before he kills us,&#8221; Fierro explained, saying that he waited until the shooter turned toward the patio before he charged the man. He reportedly used the straps of the shooter&#8217;s body armor to get a grip on him and pull him to the ground.
Once he had the shooter down, Fierro said that he was able to relieve him of his pistol, hitting him with it and asking other patrons to assist in detaining him until law enforcement arrived.
<a href="https://www.atrevidabeerco.com/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atrevida Beer Company</a>, which Fierro owns with Jess Fierro, posted an account of the evening as well:

&#8220;I have struggled with how to address the horrific series of events that has occurred. My family, friends and I decided to have a fun night out. We went to @clubqcoloradosprings to celebrate another dear friends birthday. Unfortunately, we were all there when the shooter entered. It was absolute havoc. It was terrifying,&#8221; Jess posted.
&#8220;Kassy broke her knee as she was running for cover. Our best friends were both shot multiple times. I bruised the right side of my body and Rich injured both his hands, knees and ankle as he apprehended the shooter. He was covered in blood,&#8221; she continued.
&#8220;Everyone is recovering, thankfully. No one. NO ONE should ever have to witness bloodshed like this,&#8221; she added, noting that the family was now grieving the loss of her daughter&#8217;s high school sweetheart.
&#8220;With an incredibly heavy and broken heart we lost Raymond, who had been a part of our lives since our daughter was in high school. Raymond was Kassy’s boyfriend. We are going to miss him and his bright smile so much,&#8221; she concluded. &#8220;We are going through a lot of emotions as a family and as a brewery. The loss of lives and the injured are in our hearts. We are devastated and torn. We love our #lgbtq community and stand with them. This cowardly and despicable act of hate has no room in our lives or business. F*** HATE. It has left us and our community scarred but not broken. Much love to everyone.&#8221;

Chicago&#8217;s Democratic Mayor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/we-kill-the-batman-lori-lightfoot-mocked-for-bizarre-bribe-attempt-to-get-people-vaxxed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lori Lightfoot</a> voiced her outrage in the wake of Saturday night&#8217;s <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/at-least-5-dead-18-wounded-in-mass-shooting-at-colorado-gay-nightclub-white_check_mark-eyes-heavy_plus_sign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shooting in Colorado Springs</a> — but then took a beating on Twitter when critics pointed out the fact that she presides over a city where shootings are an everyday thing.
Lightfoot began by sharing a tweet from the Associated Press announcing the breaking news: &#8220;Colorado Springs police say 5 people are dead and 18 injured in a Colorado nightclub shooting.&#8221;

Critics immediately noticed the irony, calling Lightfoot out for the violent crime that is rampant in her city.

Lightfoot has said as recently as August that she believes her administration has been <a href="https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-crime-violence-mayor-lori-lightfoot-police/12096436/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">doing a good job</a> of tackling crime in the city. &#8220;Our data-driven strategy recognizes that that&#8217;s where we need to put the lion&#8217;s share of our investments, our time, our education, our outreach,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The biggest challenge I think that we face is we&#8217;ve got to make sure that these young people put down the guns, and we&#8217;ve got to make more progress on carjackings.&#8221;
According to data from the Chicago Police Department, by July the city of Chicago had seen 7,400 guns taken off the streets and law enforcement had responded to about 1,000 carjackings.

Actress Denise Richards and her husband Aaron Phypers were reportedly shot at while inside their truck as they drove to a film and TV studio in Los Angeles on Monday.
Phypers was driving and looking for Popsicle Studio L.A. when the apparent road-rage incident started to take form, TMZ first reported. As Phypers was trying to find parking, a person in another vehicle drove by and opened fire.
Reps for Richards <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/denise-richards-husband-shot-road-rage-incident-los-angeles-rcna57407" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> the incident and said the married couple is uninjured.
The incident was <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/11/15/denise-richards-vehicle-shot-road-rage-bullet-gun/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first reported by TMZ</a>. Jill Fritzo, a representative for Richards, confirmed the account.
Richards, a former &#8220;Real Housewives&#8221; reality TV star, made headlines in the summer when she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/denise-richards-defends-teen-daughter-sami-sheen-selling-body-on-onlyfans-perhaps-i-should-open-my-own-account" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defended</a> her 18-year-old daughter Sam “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-do-not-condone-this-charlie-sheens-18-year-old-daughter-joins-onlyfans-he-dunks-on-ex-wife-denise-richards">Sami</a>” Sheen joining subscription site OnlyFans, which is known for hosting so-called sex work, namely women selling sexually explicit photos and videos.
The &#8220;Wild Things&#8221; actress argued that selling a bikini photo on OnlyFans is not really different from someone uploading it for free on other social media platforms.
“Lots of negative comments on my social this past week,” Richards posted. “I have to say, I wish I had the confidence my 18-year-old daughter has. And I also can’t be judgmental of her choices. I did ‘Wild Things’ &amp; Playboy, quite frankly her father (actor Charlie Sheen) shouldn’t be either.”
The reality star admitted that she understands the site hosts adult content, but that did not stop her support.
“I recently learned about OnlyFans in the last few months,” the 51-year-old continued. “The judgment because women &amp; men of the adult film industry are on there. I imagine they’re on Instagram &amp; Twitter as well.”
“Is there really a difference posting a picture of yourself in a bikini on [Instagram]?” Richards argued. “We’ve all done it. Because you get paid on OnlyFans? I’m pretty sure [Instagram] &amp; Twitter &amp; Facebook do quite well off of all of us. Is it so bad to control it &amp; monetize it, too?”
“I’m sorry, but s*** if I can get paid and at my age? To see me in a bikini?!?! God bless you,” she added. “Perhaps I should open my own account…” 
Richards later opened up her own OnlyFans account, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/after-dissing-criticism-of-teen-daughter-joining-onlyfans-denise-richards-flaunts-her-own-account-with-beach-post" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported.

Following the shooting death of rapper and Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist Takeoff outside a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/houston" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston</a> bowling alley on Tuesday, police are searching for one or more suspects.
Police say Takeoff, real name Kirshnik Khari Ball, was found dead after a fight broke out Billiards &amp; Bowling Houston between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. The rapper, 28, was struck in the head. The incident prompted the mayor, a Democrat, to address violence among minorities in the city directly.
“There are too many young men of color that are killing young men of color,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner during a press conference. “And we do need to have that conversation. We do need to deal with it head-on.”
Police said around 40 people were present at the time of the shooting, and two guns went off during the incident. Two others were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, reports the Associated Press. It’s unclear who fired the weapons, or whether Takeoff was the intended target, but the rapper was declared dead on-scene.
Turner asked that anyone with information on the shooting come forward so that the rapper’s family could have justice. He decried violence in the hip-hop community as well, but said he wasn’t looking to “demonize” anyone. He also blamed guns, claiming people no longer settle disputes with fist-fights because “everyone has access to guns.”
“But the good news in this city, what I can say, is that we are trending in the right direction,” he said.
<a href="https://www.tmz.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Video</a> obtained by TMZ shows Quavo — a fellow rapper and member of the rap trio Migos — along with Takeoff and many others arguing before shots are fired and the group scatters. Police say they are looking for two potential shooters.
Quavo, whose real name is Quavious Keyate Marshall, was not injured. Offset, the third member of the trio, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was not at the party.
The band rose to fame with the hit song “Versace” in 2013 and then topped charts again with the 2016 rap song “Bad and Boujee.” That song was later certified four times platinum by RIAA, though Takeoff is not credited on the song and can only be seen in the background of the music video.
Takeoff was accused of “sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment, gender violence and interference with civil rights” by an anonymous woman in August 2020. In April 2021, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s <a href="https://www.complex.com/music/takeoff-wont-face-criminal-charges-sexual-assault-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> they would not be filing criminal charges due to lack of evidence.

The Mall of America, the nation&#8217;s largest mall in suburban Minneapolis, is testing metal detectors for guests after multiple recent gun-related incidents.
Metal detectors have been installed at the mall&#8217;s north door entrances, though the location could change during the testing period.
“With Mall of America being such a unique property, it is important to thoroughly evaluate this technology onsite to ensure its accuracy, effectiveness and efficiency,&#8221; mall spokeswoman Laura Utecht in a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/travel-minneapolis-robbery-e802a8c381b5d096f289591e4554a681" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on Tuesday.
The Mall of America already bans guns, but the pilot program is the first time the massive shopping center has added metal detectors. The additional security measure comes following two gun incidents in August, including one that involved a man firing shots during a fight. No injuries were reported.
The other incident included an armed robbery on August 26 when Cartier T. Alexander, 29, of Woodbury, allegedly robbed two stores shortly after a similar robbery at a nearby pawnshop.
Alexander was <a href="https://www.startribune.com/metal-detectors-now-in-place-at-mall-of-america-after-gunfire-and-robbery-within-past-year/600216805/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charged</a> with first-degree aggravated robbery that involved a Lids store and a kiosk location before being apprehended. He was arrested with a loaded rifle, according to reports.
In addition to the August incidents, a shooting inside the mall on New Year&#8217;s Eve wounded two people. An 18-year-old male was <a href="https://www.fox9.com/news/teenager-charged-with-shooting-2-at-mall-of-america-on-new-years-eve" target="_blank" rel="noopener">charged</a> with two counts of second-degree assault for firing one shot that struck two men. Both men were injured but survived.
The Mall of America already includes a thorough security program staffed with trained personnel. Existing efforts <a href="https://www.mallofamerica.com/security">include</a> bike patrol, K9 units, and special operations plainclothes officers.
In addition, youth under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult 21 years or older from 3 p.m. to close each day. The policy is also enforced all day on certain occasions, such as Black Friday.
Second Amendment advocates have previously contended that the mall lacks the authority to ban legal gun owners from bringing firearms into common areas.
“This is completely ridiculous. The complete opposite of what they should be doing,” Minnesota state Rep. Tony Cornish (R) said following a <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/lawmaker-challenging-mall-of-americas-gun-policy-after-threat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threat</a> to the Mall of America in 2015. “If we’re threatened with an attack, the last thing you want to do is disarm citizens.”
The incidents at Mall of America are in addition to a growing number of gun incidents at other mall locations across the nation. In July, a gunman killed three people and injured two others in the food court of an Indianapolis-area mall before being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/what-we-know-about-the-heroic-22-year-old-man-who-stopped-a-mass-shooting-in-indiana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shot</a> by a bystander.
Elisjsha Dicken, the 22-year-old who stopped the shooter, was hailed as a hero. “I will say his actions were nothing short of heroic,” Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2022/07/18/elisjsha-dicken-identified-as-man-who-killed-greenwood-park-mall-suspsect/65375869007/">said</a> of Dicken.

A shooting leaving two injured unfolded Sunday evening outside the Long Island residence of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york">New York</a> gubernatorial hopeful Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lee-zeldin">Lee Zeldin</a> (R-NY) while the politician&#8217;s twin daughters were at home.
Zeldin, who&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/poll-finds-republican-lee-zeldin-neck-and-neck-with-kathy-hochul-in-governors-race-in-deep-blue-new-york" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vying to become the first New York Republican to win a statewide election in</a> two decades, said the incident has only strengthened his resolve to overtake incumbent Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) in November.
&#8220;My 16-year-old daughters, Mikayla and Arianna, were at our house doing homework, while my wife, Diana, and I were in the car, having just departed the Bronx Columbus Day Parade in Morris Park,&#8221; Zeldin explained on Sunday, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-gop-gov-candidate-lee-zeldin-crime-crisis-hits-really-close-after-shooting-outside-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to Fox News.
Authorities said the shooting was unrelated to the campaign or the Zeldin family.
&#8220;After my daughters heard the gunshots and the screaming, they ran upstairs, locked themselves in the bathroom and immediately called 911,&#8221; the Republican said. &#8220;They acted very swiftly and smartly every step of the way and Diana and I are extremely proud of them.&#8221;
The two males who were shot were transported to area hospitals, Zeldin said. &#8220;Law enforcement is currently at our house,&#8221; the congressman added. &#8220;My entire family is at home working with the investigators and providing the security footage from our home cameras.&#8221;
The shooting &#8220;hits really close to home when it shows up on your front doorstep,&#8221; Zeldin said. &#8220;I&#8217;m just so grateful that my daughters responded as quickly, as swiftly as they did.&#8221;
&#8220;We cannot surrender any street anywhere in the state of New York to criminals,&#8221; the gubernatorial hopeful asserted. &#8220;I want to see our law enforcement in charge of all of New York&#8217;s streets.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t care if you&#8217;re in a big city, a small city, a big town, a small town,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I want law-abiding New Yorkers to be able to go ride a subway car and not have to hug a pole or grab a guardrail, being afraid of being pushed in front of an oncoming subway car. Or having to take off your yarmulke because you&#8217;re Jewish and others who, you know, others are being attacked because they&#8217;re Jewish.&#8221;
&#8220;I just don&#8217;t want to ever stand in front of a crime scene tape outside my own home or outside of anyone else&#8217;s,&#8221; Zeldin added.
When a reporter criticized Zeldin for talking &#8220;politics&#8221; in the wake of the shooting, the Republican responded, &#8220;I mean, at what point are we supposed to talk about the crime on our own streets? I&#8217;m standing in front of crime scene tape in front of my own house. You can&#8217;t get me more outraged than right now. But for us, we&#8217;re more pissed off today than we were when we woke up this morning.&#8221;
Notably, Zeldin was attacked during a campaign event in July, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-republican-congressman-and-ny-gubernatorial-candidate-lee-zeldin-attacked-at-campaign-event" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported. As the Republican talked about bail reform, an armed man jumped on stage and started yelling before he was wrestled with and pulled out a blade. Zeldin was not hurt.

A man who tried to enter a Jacksonville, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a>, elementary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/education" target="_blank" rel="noopener">school</a> was shot and critically wounded by a school <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">police</a> officer Friday afternoon.
Around 2:48 p.m. a man carrying “a very large axe” walked up to the entrance of Ruth N. Upson Elementary School and attempted to get inside the building, according to Duval County Superintendent Dr. Diana Greene. School staff refused the man entry, and the school went into lockdown, News 4 Jacksonville <a href="https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2022/10/07/report-of-person-with-ax-prompts-lockdown-at-ruth-n-upson-elementary-dcps-says/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
“Our staff followed their training, kept all of our students and staff community safe,” Greene said.
The man was spotted on surveillance footage trying to open two different sets of doors, but both were locked. He also allegedly waved his axe at parents in the parking lot who had arrived to pick up their children. After failing to gain entry, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-man-brandishes-axe-in-nyc-mcdonalds-smashes-property-frightens-customers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">axe-wielding</a> man walked to a nearby church where he was encountered by police, Duval County Public School (DCPS) Police Chief Greg Burton said.
“As the subject came towards one of the police officers, the officers gave him verbal warnings to drop the axe, kept giving him verbal warnings to drop the axe,” Burton explained. “At that time, the subject threatened the officer with the axe. The subject then was shot at least one time as the officer discharged his service weapon.”
Parents were contacted multiple times and informed of the situation. &#8220;We want to let you know first that all students and staff are safe. Again, all students and staff are safe,&#8221; one of the messages said before explaining what was happening on school grounds.
The axe wielder was in critical condition following the shooting, and the DCPS police chief said it was still unknown if he suffered from mental issues.
