Iowa ex-city manager opens fire at meeting is killed with own gun - LA Times

A former city manager who opened fire at a Jackson County supervisors meeting in eastern Iowa was killed with his own gun in a struggle that followed the first shot, officials said.

Francis “Gus” Glaser, 71, of Maquoketa, Iowa, had long been upset about the assessed value of his property, Sheriff Russ Kettmann told the Los Angeles Times. He was scheduled to speak about the tax issue at Tuesday’s supervisors meeting, held at the county courthouse, and the exchange became heated, Kettmann said.


The supervisors decided the discussion was not productive and allowed Assessor Deb Lane to leave, Kettmann said.

As Lane was exiting the room, Kettmann said, Glaser pulled a small-caliber handgun from his briefcase and shot in her direction.

County Supervisor Larry “Buck” Koos tackled Glaser, stopping him from following Lane into the hallway, Kettmann said. “Good thing he did, or it would have been a lot worse.”

Koos and Glaser hit the glass door and then the floor, the sheriff said. After a struggle, Koos ended up on top, and two other people helped him hold Glaser down. The gun was underneath them, Kettmann said.

“As they were holding him down, waiting for help there, the gun went off,” killing Glaser, Kettmann said, adding that it was unclear whether the shot was accidental.

Glaser did not have a permit to buy or carry a gun, he said.

Since there are so many nutters shooting at normal people, I won't start a new thread for this one.

But, damn - this is seriously crazy.

And yet, the nutters want guns in schools.

According to police, a parent confronted a coach and showed a gun when their child did not get enough playing time.

“Moments later, five to six fans and parents began to beat up coach, attacking him. One of the individuals attacking him is believed to have brass knuckles,” said Lt. James Espinoza, Wichita Police Department.

The wife of the coach fired a gun into the air and finally stopped the beating. The coach ran to his car, grabbed his gun, brought it back to the field and pointed the gun at the crowd.

Police arrived shortly after and confiscated the coach and wife’s gun. Police say the first suspect’s gun has not been located.

Yep, you leftists have done a terrific job defending our schools without guns, right?

Now if in only the billion other shootings would end this way, innocent law abiding citizens wouldn't need guns. However, for everyone of these shooting their are a billion other shooting that don't end so nicely!

Yeah, you're right -

We hear variations on these stories every day. Who cares, right?

What's another dead child? Or brother or daughter or mother. There's always more where they came from.

What's important is that nutters can strap on their penis , balls, courage before they venture out from under the bed.
