FULL TITLE: Pastor shot dead mid-sermon by disgruntled ex-deacon, who turned himself into police after the horrific murder

A Louisiana pastor was fatally shot as he preached to a crowd of more than 60 during a revival service.

Pastor Ronald J. Harris Sr. was preaching at about 8:20 pm on Friday at Tabernacle of Praise Worship Center when he was shot twice by former deacon Woodrow Karey.

Mr Karey entered the church as Mr Harris was preaching to over 60 churchgoers and 'walked up to him and shot him at close range,' officials said. The pastor was then shot a second time after falling to the floor.

Mr Harris was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sixty-five people were inside at the time, including the victim's wife, said Chief Deputy Stitch Guillory My Karey then left the church, but soon called the sheriff's office and surrendered.

The reverend was giving the shooter’s wife some personal and private “guidance”. Happened in my town “across the tracks” as they say.

When you look at a situation and you don’t understand it, it is either money or sex!

I correctly picked the ethnicity before I clicked on the link. Does that make me a racist?

I guess they don’t have enough of their own to satisfy public interest.

When asked by the police why he would shoot the Pastor, he replied “the devil made me do it!”.
