School Security Guard Fires At Gunman

A security guard told police he shot at a man who pulled a gun on him in front of a school Wednesday morning, News 5's Ken Stinson reported.

Police said they are looking for 52-year-old Thomas Edward Wright Corn, a convicted kidnapper who is out on parole. Police have charged him with felonious assault and carrying a concealed weapon.

Police said they don't know if the guard's shot hit Corn.

Police said Corn is 5 feet 5 inches tall with a thin build. He was wearing tank pants and a white shirt.

The guard said he walked up to a man and a woman arguing in front of Life Skill School at 7710 Reading Road in Roselawn.

The guard said students were about to go on break, and he was doing a routine walk around the school building to secure it.

The guard said he thought the argument was escalating, so he approached the couple to try to calm them down.

The man pulled a gun and pointed it at him, the guard said.

The guard said he fired and the man ran.

A K-9 unit was unable to track him down.
