Tragic.

I presume none of the “parishioners” had a gun.

God Bless the brave souls who tackled the gunman. The Flight 93 response is alive and well in America.

Once I figure out why “Annie” was part of the regular Sunday service I will be able to tell if I am upset or not.

Sick.

You might want to request that a mod pull your post.

Really.

"Just another crazy, random church shooting," added an emotional Bohstedt.

Well, it's a shooting, it's crazy, it may or may not be random, but I'm not sure it was at a church.

________________________________________________

“A children’s production of “Annie” was taking place as part of the normal Sunday service at the time of the shooting,”

Yes, I wondered too...

I dont remember a manger scene or a crucifiction re-enactment...

Folks I don’t agree with the teaching of that church as such but some need to remember this. A sizable portion of the Founding Fathers of the United States followed many of that churches doctorines teachings. At least two were our first presidents. One was Washington. One even wrote their Bible. That mans name was Thomas Jefferson. They did not deserve this.

Apparently there are many “sickos” on this story today, where opinion is not valued, no matter what it is..

Amen!

I also heard that the man who was killed, was trying to block the gunman from shooting at the kids. His family can be proud of his heroism.

It’s a sick person to start shooting during a children’s play taking place in a church. Prayers for everybody affected by this.

Soft targets and murderous whack jobs.

(Leaving aside the question of to what extent a UU body can be referred to as a church.)
