SHOOTER IS 26 year old black male

"The shooter was a 26-year-old black male from Rutherford County, according to police. The blue SUV he was driving is located next to the church."

I can taste your disappointment from here.

Welp, last we'll hear of this, move along now.

Uh oh. Good guy with a gun.


The usher, who has a handgun carry permit, went to his car and retrieved his gun.

During the confrontation, the gunman was shot in the left chest.

I'm sure it wasn't a hate crime though....if they find something on him that's related to MLK, will they tear down all of the MLK monuments, bridges, streets, etc., dedicated to MLK?

It couldn't have been a mass. It was Church of Christ, not Catholic.

Makes me think about my dad. He and other men at his church with a carry permit coordinate so there are always 2 or 3 guys strapped during services.

Every article of clothing, flag and social media post by Dylan Roof was extensively scrutinized and has resulted in an organized effort to eradicate ad demonize all CSA statues, symbols and history. I fully expect the same outcome here.

I read in another article is was one of those half faced neoprene ski mask things.

That's far off from a clown mask. Someone is getting some simple facts mixed up

Heavy.com info about the shooter

quote:

He Is Originally From Sudan, Graduated From Smyrna High School in Tennessee in 2010 & Often Posted About Being a Christian


quote:

Samson Was Previously Attended the Church About a Year or Two Ago, but Hadn’t Been There in ‘Awhile,’


quote:

His final post, at 10:26 a.m., said, “Everything you’ve ever doubted or made to be believe as false, is real. & vice versa, B.”


Sounds like Samson may have found his muslim roots from the Sudan.

I am curious to this as well. I'm sure it will be all over the evening news.
