Mississippi man dies from severe injuries while trying to enter former school
A 38-year-old Mississippi man has died after attempting to break into his former elementary school through a window. David Bridges sustained severe injuries when the broken glass severed a main artery, and he bled out after police arrived at Lake Elementary School in Jackson on Sunday. His family reported that he was experiencing grief at the time of the incident, which they believe may have contributed to his actions. The death is currently under investigation.
Lake Elementary School, located on Mount Vernon Avenue, has been closed for several years and is now used by the Jackson Public School District as a campus for at-risk high school students in grades 9-12. The incident caused only minor damage to the building, which was secured and cleaned afterwards. Friends and family gathered on Monday to remember Bridges, describing him as an outspoken, respectful and loving person who was generally well-regarded in his community.
