Been watching this on local TV. I am not too far from Knoxville. Will be watching the news for the press conference, and praying for the victims.

It was up in Sequoia Hills end of Kingston Pike I'm pretty certain. I looked up the address. Remember late last year the nut that opened fire at Hooters? He was killed a few blocks from the church down in upper Bearden. Could have been anything. Homeless, a recent release from Lakeshore {not to far away either}, there's no telling. Sequoia Hills for those who do not know Knoxville is an upper scale and older neighborhood. Residence include Victor Ashe. There was a very good chance someone nearby was armed too. The community is in between the University of Tennessee and downtown section and West Knoxville where all the retailers have moved to.

Just watched the local news.

They said one man died as he tried to stop the shooter. Eight injured. The shooter is Jim D. Atkinson from Powell, and at this point authorities can find no connection with him and this church. The attacker is 58 years old.

Several men attacked the shooter and held him till cops could get there.

60 year old Usher Greg McKindry (don’t know about correct spelling of his name) was killed. The news report said the shooter had lots of ammo and had planned on inflicting lots of damage.
