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.

Money or woman? Ya mean it wasn’t about the reserved parking space?
It was about the color of the carpet.
Too bad he didn’t go down to the cellar to pray.
“He died doing what he loved.”
“it is either money or sex!
Or both.”
I would have never have guessed that.
“The reverend was giving the shooter’s wife some personal and private “guidance”. Happened in my town “across the tracks” as they say.”
I would have just thought the man flipped and found Islam, however this man confessed so can’t be that. Now wondering what will come out at the trial.
Won’t be a trial if he’s confessed. More likely to be a plea deal to avoid a death sentence.
What was he before that? And did he use magic or just change his clothes? Did he need hormone shots for that? Did he turn himself into the whole force or just one officer? Maybe he turned himself into a police horse or a police car.
Oh the unanswered questions when headline editors don't know grammar.
I have sat through some long boring sermons before...but...
...Now you Stop That! .....in my best Jack Benny voice.
Thank you! That was the first thing that jumped out at me. Bad guy, commit crim, become cop. No one can get me n ow!! A crrowd of more than 60 was pretty funny, too. Really bad writing.
That’s crime
Dollars to donuts the preacher was “preaching” to the perp’s wife on the side.
In my church here in the deep, deep, South, this perp would have died in a crossfire.
The deacons have the proper CCW permits and carry in church for this very reason.
As it should be.
The police can’t (won’t?) protect “ ‘almost’ gun-free zones” - schools/churches/malls. So, you must be ready to defend you and yours.
After these mass shootings, I believe the NRAs best move would be to descend on the victimized community and offer free classes on CCW, firearm safety, etc. since this community now knows they must defend themselves.
