Hero Security Guard Shot
A security guard at the Family Research Council's headquarters in Washington, D.C. is being hailed as a hero after he stopped a gunman posing as an intern, taking a bullet in the arm before wrestling the suspect to the ground.
The gunman, identified as 28-year-old Floyd Lee Corkins II, entered the lobby of the organization's Chinatown headquarters around 10:45 a.m. and expressed disagreement with the conservative group's policy positions, sources tell Fox News......
“The security guard here is a hero, as far as I’m concerned,” D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said. "He did his job. The person never made it past the front.”
........
Sources also said the gunman may have been carrying a bag from Chick-fil-A, the embattled fast-food restaurant whose president came under fire from gay activists after he said he did not agree with same-sex marriage.
Sources told Fox News that after guard took away his gun, the suspect said, "Don't shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for."

If I am shot and manage to overpower the guy who shot me and get his gun and he says: "it was not about you", I dunno if I'd buy that.

Wonder if the security guard was originally from Glasgow.

Actually, that's what motivated me to post it most of all.
It's tiring hearing filtered news all the time, isn't it? I'll bet this one never gets reported beyond Fox. It's the same with all the CCW self-defence or defence of others stories, too. Those stories exist and are regular by never make it past local newspapers because they don't fit the MSM anti-gun agenda.

Kinda proof positive that an agenda exists, isn't it.
