The George Washington Carver High School basketball team had built a huge early lead in its playoff game in New Orleans on Saturday when John Shallerhorn tried to walk into the gym. But Shallerhorn, 35, wasn’t wearing a mask, so a staffer blocked his way, police said.

When Shallerhorn punched the staffer, Tulane University police officer Martinus Mitchum, who was working security for the team, rushed to help. That’s when Shallerhorn pulled a gun, police said, and fatally shot Mitchum, 38, in the chest, sending players and fans scurrying for safety.

Shallerhorn, who was quickly arrested and charged with multiple felonies including murder of a police officer, had also robbed someone outside the game before coming inside, according to a criminal complaint reviewed by nola.com.

He confessed to the killing, police said, and was ordered held without bail. It’s not clear if he has an attorney.

Good God, these anti-maskers are crazy!

Rot in jail

Yup

6. John Shallerhorn is a young black man. I doubt he is a MAGAt.

We have a serious problem with guns in the New Orleans area.

2. It was more than not wearing a surgical mask. The shooter robbed a man before going into the gym.

5. Thank you!

This is not your ordinary anti-masker. It is more aking to someone stopped fleeing the scene of the crime who is stopped by a police officer because his tail light was out.

It is far more likely that the violence was triggered by nervousness around the crime he had just committed than by the mask dispute.

3. Typical fascist anti-science sh**stain.

No problem ruining everyone's lives around him - a cop's, the team's, his own, whoever he's been passing the plague to... It's all about what he wants, and damn the consequences, even if he winds up being executed. Just as long as he "owns the libs."

Die in prison.

4. Very hard to believe

7. You would think he would at least mask up for the robbery.

and keep it on whilst he made his getaway.
