Durham investigators returned to Duke Manor Apartments as they continue to investigate a shooting that seriously injured a security guard. The security guard was shot multiple times and police believe he was injured while trying to protect residents from a burglary.
Police were called to Duke Manor Monday night just before 9 p.m. When officers arrived they found the guard lying outside.
The complex caters to college students.
Resident and Central student K’La Moore said she heard the guns fired around 8:30 p.m.
“It was consistent and then it stopped and then it started again. So I’m thinking it was like two different guns because it sounded different as well,” said Moore. “Maybe about 30 seconds after that, I heard a car drive off extremely fast.”
Police said it appears the security guard interrupted a burglary in progress at an apartment.
Anyone with information about any of the shootings is asked to call CrimeStoppers at (919) 683-1200. CrimeStoppers pays cash rewards for information leading to arrests in felony cases and callers never have to identify themselves.

FJC Security guard Idrissa Camara, 53, who agreed to work overtime at Manhattan federal building shot dead by deranged gunman 68-year-old Kevin Downing, a retired U.S. Army Reserves captain who then killed himself.

The family of a security guard who killed while working at a federal building downtown Friday is now planning his funeral.
A cousin said Saturday that the family is trying to decide if Idrissa Camara, 53, shot and killed at work on Varick Street, will be buried in the United States or in his native Ivory Coast.
FJC Security guard Idrissa Camara could have been home with his children, but chose instead to put in a few hours of overtime — a decision that cost the security guard his life when a deranged gunman shot him at his post in a federal building in SoHo Friday.
Eyewitness News talked to Camara’s family and friends on Saturday, and they say that not only did he love his job as a security officer, but the armed guard never felt like it was a dangerous job. Camara often sent the money he made here back to extended family members in the Ivory Coast.
For most of the day, family and friends came to Camara’s home, all giving condolences to his wife and four children.
“If someone has a problem, we come to share the grief with them, and support them as much as we can,” says Vakoua Diomande, a family friend for 15-years.
Camara’s cousin, and leader at the family’s Harlem mosque tells Eyewitness News that the family is holding up well.
“I’m going to pray, that’s all – their spirit is high, their spirit is strong,” says Imam Komate.
Kevin Downing, 63, of Fort Lee, N.J., entered through a side entrance of the building that houses an immigration court, passport processing center and a regional office for the Department of Labor, a law enforcement official said. He shot Camara at close range, then walked through the screening area and headed toward an elevator where he encountered another employee, and then shot himself in the head, said James O’Neill, a chief with the New York Police Department.
Downing was pronounced dead at the scene.
Camara, was supposed to have gotten off work at 4 p.m. but agreed to stay on for an extra shift, FJC Security Services said. The shooting happened at 5:05 p.m. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
“That was my brother that was my brother,” the victim’s sister said.
Camara’s sister wept as she left the family’s Harlem home.
She’s devastated by the news that her brother won’t be coming home to his wife and four children.
His son posted a tribute on his Facebook page, thanking friends for their support:
I just want to thank everyone for supporting me after my fathers tragic death at work, my father was very kind person and didn’t deserve anything like this. And I wish no one would have to go what I’m going to throughly right now and god bless everyone.
His brother rushed to Lenox Hill Hospital to be with them during this tragic time.
“We just got there. We’re going to try to go there and speak to the wife, she’s upstairs. The only thing we actually, anybody knows him, don’t know him, heard about him, to pray for him. To pray for him. To pray for him,” said Ouattara Muhammad, the victim’s brother.
Because Camara was a security guard under contract to the Department of Homeland Security, his death constitutes a homicide of a federal officer.
A spokesman for FJC Security Services, the company Camara worked for, released a statement saying, “Tonight, for the first time in our 27-year history, FJC Security Services lost a member of our family when Senior Guard Idrissa Camara was shot at 201 Varick Street. He later died at Lenox Health Greenwich Village. “Idrissa Camara, 53, of Manhattan, worked for FJC for two years, when we took over the contract at that building. He worked for the prior company and we were pleased he stayed with us during that transition. “Camara, who was armed, was an extraordinary Senior Guard who was well trained, cared deeply about his job and knew that building better than anyone else. It’s clear from the facts that he never had a chance to defend himself in this instance. “Camara was scheduled to complete his day at 4:00 PM, but agreed to stay on for extra duty. That speaks volumes about the person he was.”Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family. We intend to do everything we can to stand with them during this very difficult time.”As part of our investigation, we have checked our records for any link between the shooter and FJC. Our search found no connection.”
“We are shocked and horrified at this terrible news and send our deepest condolences to Officer Camara’s family. Security officers around the city and country serve on the front line each and every day to keep us safe and secure. We are heartbroken that one of our own has fallen. We hope some of our questions in the face of this terrible tragedy will be answered. For now, we are keeping Officer Camara’s family and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.”

‘Empire’ star Bryshere “Yazz” Gray tried pulling the celebrity card big time Saturday night but one security guard just wasn’t having it. We’re told Yazz, who plays Hakeem Lyon, was trying to get into Memphis’ famous Beale Street … the only problem?
He didn’t want to stand in line. A witness says there were about 35 people waiting when the actor came out of nowhere and tried going through the street’s exit, completely ignoring the line. Yazz got into it with asecurity guard before his bodyguard …
However, the 21 year old was blocked by a security guard, who confronted him about skipping the line, prompting the actor to try and use his celebrity to win the bouncer over. When the security official refused to budge, Gray launched into a furious …

New Orleans LA Aug 15 2015 A group of offenders incarcerated at Bridge City Center for Youth attacked and overpowered a guard last week, allowing eight teens to bolt from their secured dorm, including two who managed to escape the property entirely, according to authorities.
While Riynell Nixon, 15, and Rashad Seals, 16, went on the lam Friday (Aug. 7), prompting a search by local law enforcement. The other six offenders never made it off-property, said Elizabeth Touchet-Morgan, spokeswoman for the Louisiana Office of Juvenile Justice.
Investigators Tuesday arrested Sanders Johnson, Juan Tapia, Armani Mouton and Martez Doucet, all 17, and Eric Curry, 19, and booked them with simple escape, according to arrest records. Juvenile Justice investigators also arrested and booked a 16-year-old boy accused of taking part in the escape, Touchet-Morgan said.
The attack occurred about 1:25 a.m. Friday in the boys’ Harmony dormitory at the facility, located at 3225 River Road, Bridge City. Tapia, Mouton, Curry and the unnamed 16-year-old grabbed a guard – referred to as a juvenile justice specialist by officials at the youth center – as he was standing near the door, according to arrest reports.
“They rushed him,” Touchet-Morgan said.
The four teens held the guard down as Seals tried to grab his keys. During the struggle, someone bit the guard’s hand, Touchet-Morgan said.
Seals managed to get the keys away from the guard and unlocked a back door. The teens also stole the guard’s portable radio and the dorm telephone, preventing him from contacting other staffers, the arrest reports said.
The guard finally alerted officials by waving frantically in front of security cameras installed in the dorm. The responding officers spotted the teens on the grounds and began chasing them around the facility, the arrest report said.
They eventually rounded up six of the offenders, but Nixon and Seals escaped through a hole in the perimeter fence, authorities said.
In addition to the simple escape charge, Tapia, Mouton, Curry and the 16-year-old were booked with battery of a correctional center employee while in custody.
Nixon’s relatives surrendered him to authorities on Saturday. Authorities arrested Seals in Baton Rouge on Sunday.
The escape was the second to occur at the youth center in a three-day period. Wilnor Chaney Jr., 18, escaped in a similar fashion by overpowering a guard to access keys during the early morning hours of Aug. 5, Touchet-Morgan said. He was recaptured and booked with simple escape and battery of a correctional center employee while in custody.
The Youth Center has come under scrutiny in the past for issues concerning understaffing and violence against employees. Following the escape, state officials are reviewing the policies and procedures at the facility as part of its investigation, Touchet-Morgan said.
“We look at our staffing to see if there is something we could do to make adjustments for employees,” she said.
That could include reviewing staff-to-youth ratios at the facility. All of the dorm-based employees are supported by other staffers, including shift supervisors and roaming specialist and staff in the control center, according to Touchet-Morgan.
“There are a lot of variables to look at and we’re looking at all of them,” she said. “It’s a facility and processes break down. We want to make sure that we keep that from happening, again.”
Los Angeles CA Aug 15 2015 A recent attack on security guards by youths staying at a transitional center for older foster children with nowhere else to go prompted a call Friday for beefed up security at the facility.
The Youth Welcome Center, housed on the campus of Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, is a last-resort place for foster children ages 12 and older who have nowhere else to go. Many of the youths are older teens who have been thrown out of multiple foster homes or are difficult to place. The facility is supposed to house the children for 24 hours, but many end up staying considerably longer.
In February, the Times reported on issues at the facility, including youths being recruited for prostitution. Four months later, a special committee appointed by the county Board of Supervisors recommended that they shut the center down.
On Saturday, three youths at the center attacked two security guards, said Amara Suarez, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. She said it was unclear what sparked the assault, but it “may have been related to the youths not following instructions as they were being processed into the center.”
A staffer captured a portion of the melee on video and it was later shared with the Times.

Suarez said the youths remained at the center after the incident, but on Tuesday got into another fight with a guard, and one youth was arrested.
She said a sheriff’s deputy is now on duty at the center around the clock.
County Supervisor Hilda Solis, who represents the area, said in statement that she had directed Department of Children and Family Services Director Philip Browning to take further measures to improve safety and security at the center and to “help find alternative placement for the most at-risk minors” and provide mental health services to those who need them.

Riverside CA Aug 15 2015 A man who police believe knocked out and then beat a security guard while he was unconscious has been arrested.
Anthony James Pearce, 27, was arrested at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, and booked into the Southwest Detention Center on suspicion of battery causing serious injury, assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm and committing a crime while in a post-release community supervision program, jail logs show.
He is being held in jail without bail, the logs show.
The security guard, José Sigaran, had a broken nose and damage to his eyes that left him blind for several days, he said in an interview Friday, Aug. 14.
He had no injuries to the rest of his body, he said.
“I think he really just wanted to destroy my face,” Sigaran said.
The beating was sparked by a run-in he had with the suspect while working guard duty at the downtown bus terminal on University Avenue near Market Street Tuesday morning, Aug. 11, Riverside police officials said in a news release.
The guard saw Pearce, who loiters around the terminal regularly, smoking marijuana, Sigaran said.
When he ordered the suspect to leave, Pearce complied, but he made threats against the guard’s life as he left, Sigaran said.
About an hour later — about noon — the victim was walking to a nearby grocery store when Pearce ambushed him in front of Jersey Burger in the 3900 block of University Avenue, Sigaran said.
What happened next was a blur to the guard, he said, but he thinks the suspect hit him with his skateboard, knocking him out.
But that didn’t stop the suspect, police said.
Pearce stood over Sigaran’s unconscious body and punched him repeatedly in the face, Riverside police Officer Cheryl Hayes said.
Paramedics took the man to a hospital where he got stitches and was referred to specialists to get surgery on his nose and eye sockets, he said.
After the attack, officers got surveillance video from a local business and saw the suspect. He was recognizable by his distinctive shoes, socks and skateboard, the release said.
The next day about 4:20 p.m., an officer spotted Pearce near Mission Inn Avenue and Orange Street. He resembled the man in the video, so the officer took him into custody, police said.
At a police station, Pearce admitted to being involved in the fight, the release said.
Sigaran is a kind man and a great husband and father of five, said Danielle Cott, an Irvine resident and long-time friend.
“He’s a calm, good guy,” she said. “There’s nothing he would have done to provoke this.”
10 to have experienced security guards trained, according to the lawsuit. New guards must be trained within 60 days of their hire date.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A blistering new report raises troubling questions about safety hazards in and around city jails and prisons.

The report shows dozens of violations that include lack of fire exits and smoke alarms and major sprinkler problems.
And the plans to fix all this could extend an eye-popping 11 years.
CBS2’s Marcia Kramer is investigating why the Department of Correction hasn’t done anything about it.
“It’s simply dangerous. We should not have to wait for a horrible tragedy to happen before the city does what it’s supposed to do,” Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley, D-Queens, told Kramer.
Crowley, chair of the committee that oversees the city’s Department of Correction, was furious after CBS2 showed her a report prepared for the agency’s federal monitor.

RICHMOND, Va. – A family is mourning the death of their father, who they said died as a result of injuries sustained when he was tackled by a security guard at an ambulatory care pharmacy.
On Friday afternoon, 64-year-old Phillip Whitaker was waiting on his prescriptions at the VCU Medical ambulatory pharmacy, according to the family. They said when Whitaker’s name was called he walked up to the counter, and was then tackled by a contract security guard working for VCU Medical Center. The family said this is the second time he was called back up, because he needed to correct an issue with his prescription.
The security guard involved in the fatal altercation with a 64-year-old Henrico County man last week at VCU Medical Center was employed by local security firm LEW & Associates Inc., VCU officials confirmed Tuesday.
The guard, who has not been identified, has not been at the medical center since the incident that led to the death of Varina resident Butch Whitaker, a VCU spokeswoman said. Richmond police said the guard is expected to face charges.
LEW guards are no longer in the Ambulatory Care Center, which houses the pharmacy where the incident occurred, according to VCU spokeswoman Pam Lepley. The company’s security officers are still being used at other locations, Lepley said, mainly to monitor smoking outside the hospital building.

THE LAW SAYS YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO JOIN A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS SECURITY UNION
The Law: The National Labor Relations Act forbids employers from interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise of rights relating to organizing, forming, joining or assisting a labor organization for collective bargaining purposes, or from working together to improve terms and conditions of employment, or refraining from any such activity. Similarly, labor organizations may not restrain or coerce employees in the exercise of these rights.
Examples of employer conduct that violates the law:
Threatening employees with loss of jobs or benefits if they join or vote for a union or engage in protected concerted activity.
Threatening to close the plant if employees select a union to represent them. Questioning employees about their union sympathies or activities in circumstances that tend to interfere with, restrain or coerce employees in the exercise of their rights under the Act.
Promising benefits to employees to discourage their union support. Transferring, laying off, terminating, assigning employees more difficult work tasks, or otherwise punishing employees because they engaged in union or protected concerted activity.
Transferring, laying off, terminating, assigning employees more difficult work tasks, or otherwise punishing employees because they filed unfair labor practice charges or participated in an investigation conducted by NLRB.
Rights of Employees
Sec. 7. [§ 157.] Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, and shall also have the right to refrain from any or all of such activities except to the extent that such right may be affected by an agreement requiring membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment as authorized in section 8(a)(3) [section 158(a)(3) of this title]. What rules govern collective bargaining for a contract? After employees choose a union as a bargaining representative, the employer and union are required to meet at reasonable times to bargain in good faith about wages, hours, vacation time, insurance, safety practices and other mandatory subjects. Some managerial decisions such as subcontracting, relocation, and other operational changes may not be mandatory subjects of bargaining, but the employer must bargain about the decision’s effects on unit employees.
It is an unfair labor practice for either party to refuse to bargain collectively with the other, but parties are not compelled to reach agreement or make concessions.
IT’S ALWAYSwise to take full advantage ofYOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
WITH A UNION, the employer must bargain and pay the wages negotiated.
WITH A UNION, your rights on the job are spelled out and must be respected.
WITH A UNION, you can stop abuses on the job. The union can prevent unjust and unfair treatment by giving you representation on the job and the right to file grievances if you are treated unfairly.
WITH A UNION, you can negotiate for better holiday pay, vacations, health and welfare benefits, and job conditions.
WITH A UNION, you have greater security on your job. Company management cannot fire you without good reason and they must respect your length of service if there are layoffs.
WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS?
It is unlawful for your employer or supervisor to interfere with, restrain or coerce employees seeking to organize or join a union.
What employers and supervisors can NOT do:
1) They CANNOT tell employees that the Employer will fire or punish them if they engage in union activity.
2) They CANNOTlay off or discharge any employee for union activity
3) They CANNOT grant employees wage increases or special concessions in order to keep the union out.
4) They CANNOT bar employee union representatives from talking with members during non-working hours.
5) They CANNOT ask employees about confidential union matters, meetings, etc.
6) They CANNOT ask employees about the union or about union representatives.
7) They CANNOT ask employees how they intend to vote.

9) They CANNOT by the nature of the work assignment, create conditions intended to get rid of an employee because of his or her union activity.
10) They CANNOT threaten workers or coerce them in an attempt to influence their vote.
11) They CANNOT tell employees that existing benefits will be discontinued if the institution is unionized. )
12) They CANNOT say unionization will force the employer to lay off workers.
13) They CANNOT say unionization will take away vacations or other benefits and privileges presently in effect.
14) They CANNOT promise employees promotions, raise or other benefits if they get out of the union or refrain from joining it.
