Texas police shoot man who disarmed possible church shooter. No knock on the cops, they came into a potential church shooting, saw someone holding a gun, and acted.
The shooting happened shortly after 9 a.m. Feb. 14 at the Faith City Mission, a faith-based outreach organization. Police said Joshua Len Jones, 35, of Amarillo, barged into a church building at Faith City Mission, pulled out a gun and was holding about 100 congregants and church staff hostage.
Amarillo man accidentally shot by police speaks out about the shooting:
“I said ‘hey, hey I got the gun,’” said Garces. “'I took the gun away from him.' … They (the police) said throw it down. I wasn't going to throw it down because it could have fired. It had bullets in it, you know. I didn't want anyone else getting hurt. … Then pop, pop they shot me. … I went down, then a puddle of blood. … I thought I was a goner."
