Ft. Worth Star-Telegram: “A Louisiana police officer was killed over the weekend following a mask dispute at a New Orleans high school, police say.
Friday night, a man — later identified by multiple news outlets as 35-year-old John Shallerhorn — tried to enter a basketball game at George Washington Carver High School without wearing a mask, WDSU reported.
That’s when police say Shallerhorn got into an altercation with a staff member.
Martinus Mitchum, a Tulane University police officer who was working security at the game, intervened and escorted Shallerhorn from the building, according to WVUE.
But as Shallerhorn left, police say he pulled out a gun and fired at Mitchum.”
