White Shirts

On April 24, 1996, Kenneth Tornes, an employee of the Jackson Fire Department in Jackson, Mississippi, stormed into a management meeting at Central Fire Station and began shooting, killing four men and wounding two others. It was a national news story for several days and a tragic and horrifying event that changed the lives or those affiliated with JFD forever. Noraine Moree, whose husband, Don, died that day at the hands of Kenneth Tornes, and Dave Berry, the JFD Arson Division superivisor who pursued the then unknown shooter into a parking garage and at one point aimed his weapon at the assassian, take you behind the scenes of the Tornes shooting in a way nobody else can. You'll feel you own blook pumping as the deadly rampage is recreated, and you'll grieve as the lives of four good, decent men were taken in the blink of an eye by a madman. A story of anger, heartbreak,and forgiveness, White Shirts will give you a whole new appreciation for the courage and bravery of the men and women who work for our fire departments...and a whole new perspective on the inner-workings of our city governments and legal system.
