A churchgoer shot a fellow parishioner in a Pennsylvania church after a fight broke out over a seat in the sanctuary on Sunday, authorities say.

The argument started when a churchgoer told Robert Braxton III, 27, he was sitting in seats reserved for two other church members during Sunday service at the Keystone Fellowship Church, district attorney Kevin Steele said.

Not sure what's up with the heil hitler salutes.

Silly boy, they're raising their hands in worship to God.

[BenLurkin]

Who do they worship with their left hands?

[Ken522]

I see a lot of right hands up - maybe ... ‘better not say it!

[The Cuban]

If God didn’t want guns in church why dif Jesus give Moses the Second Amendment??

[The Cuban]

So glad I’m Catholic when I see this stupidity.

Holding one’s hands palm up toward the sky is a common custom during prayer in some charismatic churches, but toward the pulpit, stage, pastor, master of ceremonies (whatever they call it)? Looks weird. Then again it also looks like the kind of church that considers a mosh pit ride to be a laying on of hands.

The gun-toting suspect then flashed a Concealed Weapons Permit badge, which the district attorney’s office belives was purchased online.

Wrong way to solve that kind of problem. Oh man... And, by the way, it WAS a real gun. Stupid conversation.

Its the high five me, God, pose.

Personally i think most people doing it are just posing. It just looks so fakey old timey elmer gantry-ish to me.

I'm almost positive you are right because I remember it and it was in Pennsylvania. It was on Sunday one week or two ago.

Same church name but this is local news April 24, 2016:

Language warning, but I can’t help it. Just seems appropriate.

Something about this story tells me this was not a spontaneous incident. Like these two parties or families had a feud of some kind going on, and one of them intentionally parked his butt where the others were known to sit, and......

Just a gut hunch.

It happened last Sunday April 24th in North Wales, PA. This article gives more detail about the altercation.

The guy didn't deserve to die, but he sat in a seat or seats meant for others, and used foul language in a house of worship. He was just ignorant, rude, and unfortunately met up with someone...armed and capable of snapping.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Superfun Rock Band Church has nothing to do with Jesus Christ.

President Muffley: “Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here. This is the War Room.”

Luke 18:11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector.

Stay humble, Catholic.

Keystone Fellowship Church — I didn’t find the denomination.
