Memphis Police Say Gunman Attempted Mass Shooting at Jewish School
------------------------------------------------------------------

In Memphis, Tennessee, prosecutors have filed attempted murder charges
against a man who fired shots outside the Margolin Hebrew Academy school
Monday after he tried and failed to enter the building. The gunman left
the premises, but police officers later found Joel Alejandro Bowman
after identifying his car. They confronted him and shot him, sending him
to a hospital in critical condition. Memphis Police Chief C.J. Davis
says officers averted a potential mass shooting.
