FULL TITLE: Nine people are killed at a Coptic Christian church in Cairo before police shoot dead gunman and capture a second attacker
Gunmen have killed at least nine people after opening fire at the entrance of a Coptic Christian church in Egypt this morning.
Two attackers went on the rampage outside Mar Mina church south of the capital Cairo before one of them was shot dead as he tried to storm the building.
The church was being guarded by police in the run-up to Orthodox Christmas celebrations next week.
A picture of the gunman's corpse showed a bearded man sprawled on a street. Local media said he had been wearing an explosive belt, and that two other bombs had been defused nearby.
The attack took place in the Helwan district on the capital's southern outskirts and officials say they have caught a second assailant who went on the run.

I will pray. But I will also advocate that all capable adults should go to church armed.

I hope they hang the other guy just like the did with the other terrorists a few days ago.
