Shooting incidents in the news.

Wear your gun, it does you no good left in your vehicle:

An usher confronted the shooter while inside the church and was violently pistol whipped, Aaron said. During the confrontation with the usher, the gunman shot himself in the left chest, Aaron said. The gunman is in non-critical condition and is under guard at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, he said.

After the struggle, the usher exited the sanctuary, got a gun from his vehicle and guarded the shooter until police arrived, Aaron said.

Shooter is an "Immigrant" from the Sudan.

Hans I read a sim. article on TheTennessean.com that mentioned his race finally in paragraph 20.

Anyone here care to wager $’s to donuts that would have been the case if the POS had been white?

I'm less interested in his race than the fact he is a foreign national. Sudan is primarily split between Muslims in the north and animalistic christians in the south. It was reported the shooter previously attended services at the church which would explain the mask.

Did you perhaps mean "animistic?"

Agreed on the race issue, just tired of the hypocritical journalistic slant that is the norm these days.

There are animists and Christians in Sudan. Never heard of an animalistic Christian.

That too !

I think it's Animist. Unless you are ordering from the secret menu.

Apparently autocorrect has.

Another church member, a 22-year-old usher named Robert Caleb Engle, tackled the gunman and suffered injuries when he was pistol whipped. In the struggle, the shooter shot himself, although it wasn’t clear if it was on purpose or an accident. Engle retrieved his own gun from his car and held the man until police arrived, police said.
