Thought the priest was incredibly cool headed through most of it. Tough place to be.

Pslam 23: 1-6

1
A psalm of David.

I
The LORD is my shepherd;*

there is nothing I lack.a

2
In green pastures he makes me lie down;

to still waters he leads me;

3
bhe restores my soul.

He guides me along right paths*

for the sake of his name.

4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,c

I will fear no evil, for you are with me;

your rod and your staff comfort me.

II
5
*You set a table before me

in front of my enemies;*

You anoint my head with oil;*d

my cup overflows.e

6
Indeed, goodness and mercy* will pursue me

all the days of my life;

I will dwell in the house of the LORDf

for endless days.

So no shooting. Somebody saw a good ole baw legally carrying a gun and freaked out?

No.

Ok. That was a bad mistake. Corrected.

There are rumors flying, but who knows what’s true

Dear Parishioners,
This morning, our First Communion ceremony was interrupted when a suspicious person opened the back door. The individual was immediately confronted by parishioners, escorted outside and the police were called. The individual was quickly apprehended by Abbeville Police Department and is in their custody. Once apprehended, law enforcement entered the church to make sure there was no additional danger. This understandably caused panic. While we realize this was a frightening experience for those in attendance, we are incredibly grateful to both parishioners and police officers for acting quickly to ensure the safety of all. Chief Mike Hardy is handling the investigation with cooperation of the Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s office and assistance from the FBI. Out of an abundance of caution, we will have uniformed law enforcement at all upcoming Masses. We invite First Communicants to receive First Holy Communion at whichever Mass they choose to attend this weekend. We are grateful for all the prayers for our St. Mary Magdalen community.

wow

Yeah. Apparently brother in law said his eyes were very glassy.

Maybe, who knows. Sounds like it was a high school kid.
