“How very sad. I wonder if this is a “gun-free” church.”
I know of very few churches, if any, that are officially gun free.
The attacker in a situation like this always has the advantage of surprise and if has any gun training at all is going to shoot people before taken out. I don’t know about you, but I don’t sit in church watching for crazed gunmen every moment of the service. I have more important things to attend to.

Not in Knoxville!
