Sad situation. Probably won't be hearing much about it though.

The usher is a hero and kept it from possibly getting much worse.

Police spokesman just said shooter is 26 yr old black male suspect. Shot himself in the left chest, pectoral area after initially opening fire on the innocent victims then being confronted by an usher of the congregation.

Must have been a poliboard poster. There was a thread friday about how there hadn't been many mass shootings under Trump.

Update. Police say shooter is 25 yr old Emmanuel Samson. Robert Engle (the usher), age 22, wrestled with shooter, Samson, after being pistol whipped. Gun discharged hitting the shooter.

Engle Police say he is the hero! Saved lives!

What the fricking frick?!!


He might have targeted older people but I think the more likely explanation is that some churches just have a much older congregation.

Christians don't like to admit it but their influence into the millenial generation is about flatlined.

Just going to church isn't a safe bet nowadays.

CC man. Churches are about the last places left that allow it, though what Target doesn't know won't hurt Target if you know what I mean.

Here's a post from his FB:

"I came too long of a way, all the way from Africa; to come to America and FAIL. I must say, that's a COMPLETE NO-NO!. Just know that whenever we're around eachother & I'm quiet, I'm just OBSERVING what can be CHANGED in the atmosphere that i may be in at the moment. So don't think for a second that I'm not saying anything because "I don't have anything to say..."; but rather know that I'm thinking of a master plan. I honestly never thought that I'd be a 'high school graduate' at all, I somewhat doubted myself along with others. Although, now im beyong appreciative towards God for allowing me to have that title. Whether it's a diploma in my hands or just a minor certificate, just know that I'm NOT gone let ANYTHING refrain me from taking my education to the very next level. I'm aiming at psychologist; but also becoming a preacher. Either way it may go in my life as I pursue to do what the Lord has called me to do, best-believe one thing; I'm bout that action-&-I-WILL-make it happen."

Some prisons have fantastic distance learning partnerships with ivy league universities.

Black guy goes in church and shoots a bunch of white folk. The media silence on this is deafening.
