City employee accused of shooting teenager at St. Paul recreation center
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- A man who worked at a recreation center with teenagers is now accused of shooting one of them. The 26-year-old worked at the Jimmy Lee Recreation Center in St. Paul.

The teenage victim remains in critical condition. As many as 100 young people were at the recreation center when the shooting happened. Resources are being made available to kids who are traumatized.

[...]

St. Paul city employees, with the exception of police officers, are barred from carrying guns on the job. Mayor Carter did express frustration over a state law that specifically prevents the city from banning guns at recreation centers.

"I think that state law is wrong and should be changed as quickly as possible," said Carter.


So, he was already banned from carrying, but we need to change state law so he's even more banned?

If you did not have guns mayor Carter would feel better about kids getting shot in his city.

Why did he shoot? The story doesn’t go into what happened.

Police stated 26 year old Binford had a PTC. Best description I have seen so far.

I would think that most city policies state that employees are not allowed to be armed while working with the exception of PD officers. I won’t comment on the mug shot of the shooter but….

One wonders if l'il melvin would be so quick to blame 'the gun' if this had been a white cop shooting the youngster.
