Joel Bowman, the man charged with a violent episode outside a Memphis Jewish school, has posted a $200,000 bond, as per WREG. He is scheduled for release fitted with a GPS monitor, prohibited from most travel and access to firearms following his alleged attack on the Margolin Hebrew Academy.

Last year's events unfolded on July 31, when Bowman reportedly fired shots at a contractor on the school premises and outside Margolin Hebrew Academy, noted KAIT8. After an unsuccessful entry armed, Bowman engaged the contractor, discharging his weapon twice, missing him, and proceeding to fire an additional round in the parking lot. His actions spurred a police response, ending with Bowman being shot in the chest during a confrontation moments after the incident.

Bowman faces charges including attempted second-degree murder, possession of a weapon in the commission of a dangerous felony, carrying a weapon on school property, reckless endangerment, and assault on a first responder. Initially set at $1 million, a judge reduced Bowman's bond last Monday to $100,000 at the behest of his attorney, citing his need for mental health treatment outside of jail — a request that had been denied earlier in the year, revealed FOX13 Memphis.

Revealed in an interview, a friend suggested that Bowman's possible PTSD might be rooted in a traumatic event from 2003 when his father was fatally shot during a mental health crisis by police, WREG reported. The court records indicate that the bond was reduced last Thursday, setting up Bowman's release conditions.
