At least seven people were shot on Sunday when a shooter opened fire inside a Tennessee Church, Nashville police said.

Nashville police received calls about a shooting at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch just after 11 a.m., officials told Fox News. The church is about 30 minutes southeast of Nashville.

"This is a mass casualty situation. All of the wounded have been transported to area hospitals. The majority are older adults," Nashville Fire Department wrote on Twitter.

Several of us are armed during services. Not a good idea to come in shooting here. More people should be armed when they go to services. The nation is coming unglued and the liberal leftists keep putting solvent on the glue.

This is happening more and more as those who stand by God’s Laws will be targeted with fury.

Persecution isn’t just something we should expect to happen in some 3rd world backwater anymore.

Praying for all involved.

News reports that the victims were mostly “elderly”.

That’s because no young(er) people attend church any more.

Therein, the problem lies.

Whoever did this, no matter what his background or motivation, is a piece of $HIT.

MSM keeps calling this slug an African-American. Meanwhile

Metro police said Samson attended the church one or two years ago. He moved to the United States in 1996 from Sudan. He is a legal U.S. resident but it’s unknown if he’s a legal citizen.

Then till otherwise proven he is an African or an unwisely naturalized african. Watch BLM/NAACP and NFL all climb over each other to support this murderer. Need to reciprocate for all the flag, monument, confederate names removed per Dylan Roof shooting and start eliminating black institutions like NAACP and BLM.
