WTH?!? Cops Murder Hero Who Just Stopped a Mass Shooting!!!

Early Sunday morning, a tragedy took place in Illinois after a hero security guard stopped what could easily have become another mass shooting, only to be shot by police moments later. 26 year-old, Jemel Roberson was working security at Manny’s Blue Room Sunday morning when his heroism got him killed.

The incident began after multiple individuals were asked to leave the bar for being unruly. Witnesses say all the men left and then returned, one of the men brought a gun and began to open fire into the bar. As everyone else ran for cover, Roberson according to witnesses, engaged the shooter with his own gun.

Roberson then apprehended one of the men involved in the shooting and held him at gunpoint as the police showed up. Four people had been shot, but thanks to Roberson, no one else was hit. Those four people were transported to a local hospital and were treated for their injuries. Sadly, Roberson would not be so lucky.

At around 4 a.m., police officers from multiple suburban departments responded to the call of shots fired. When they arrived, Roberson was holding one of the men on the ground so he could be apprehended by police.

witness Adam Harris said. “He had somebody on the ground with his knee in back, with his gun in his Everybody was screaming out, ‘he was a security guard,’ and they basically saw a black man with a gun and killed him,”

Roberson—who was licensed to carry a firearm—and is a father of a 9-month-old boy, saved who knows how many lives that night only to be gunned down shortly after.

Chief Daniel Delaney of the Midlothian Police Department said in a statement. “A Midlothian officer encountered a subject with a gun and was involved in an officer-involved shooting. The subject the officer shot was later pronounced deceased at an area hospital,”

Adding to the irresponsible nature of the shooting is the fact that an attorney for the family noted that Roberson was actually wearing security attire and had a hat on with “security” emblazoned across the front.

According to the AP, charges were pending against the man who investigators believe fired the initial shots during a dispute. His name has yet to be released, and he remained hospitalized.

The Illinois state police are now investigating the tragic incident and noted that they would not comment further until the investigation is complete.

WGN reported that friends said Roberson was an upstanding guy who had plans to become a police officer. He was also a musician, playing keyboard and drums at several Chicago-area churches.

Patricia Hill from Purposed Church said. “Every artist he’s ever played for, every musician he’s ever sat beside, we’re all just broken because we have no answers,” “He was getting ready to train and do all that stuff, so the very people he wanted to be family with, took his life.”

LeAundre Hill said.“Once again, it’s the continued narrative that we see of shoot first, ask questions later,”

Monday night, family and friends held a vigil for Roberson.

This is not the first time this year that cops have shown up to a scene and shot the hero. As news of the alleged shooting in Parkland, Florida dominated the airwaves, a massive hostage situation—which was quickly turning into a mass shooting situation—was foiled by a hero in a church. That hero, however, was hospitalized after police showed up to the scene and shot him.

The situation was well on its way to becoming one of the deadliest shootings in history as the gunman took over 100 people hostage inside the Faith City Mission church until Clay Murdock helped to stop it. Luckily for Murdock, he was not killed. Roberson was not so lucky.
