A pastor is thanking the Lord for his province after a man entered his church, pulled a gun on him, and fired at him in the middle of a church service that was being live-streamed. Mercifully, the gun jammed and did not fire, causing the gunman to be tackled and apprehended by a brave congregant, who quickly jumped into action.
The incident happened at Jesus’ Dwelling Place Church in North Braddock, PA, a small church of about 25 people. Pastor Pastor Glenn Germany, who was the victim of the attempted murder by Bernard Junior Polite, 26, recounted the harrowing incident.
“He stood up and he smiled at me. and it was just a smile. He comes to right here and then all of a sudden, that’s when I see him pull the gun and all I could do is duck and try to get out of the way…He pulled the gun; it clicked. You heard him shoot it. God jammed the gun so the bullet didn’t come out.”
Following the jamming, the gunman was tackled by Deacon Clarence McCallister, 63, who shared:
“Once I seen a gun, then I leaped out of my seat and leaped over that railing, and I tackled him down to the ground. The man had his back turned towards me, and I could see he would never see me coming.”
Following the incident, police went to the home of the perpetrator, where they found a body that was fatally shot. The deceased is believed to be a family member of Polite, who he murdered before the attempt on the pastor’s life.

You have a good point. Good thing the guy didn’t use a Glock, because the pastor would almost certainly be dead. I’ve never had a Glock jam on me or fail to fire, ever.
What about Taurus ?
Every T9 I’ve handled/shot etc = junk. YMMV.
