A staff member of a Dothan church shot and killed a man who robbed him and another parishioner inside the church on Sunday night, police said.

Dothan police found Steffon Parreese Valentez Tolver, 26, dead of a gunshot wound in the parking lot of the Crossroads Baptist Church 2574 Westgate Parkway at around 10:34 p.m., police said.

Police said Tolver had entered the back door of the church and robbed a parishioner of about $50.

When Tolver then attempted to rob a staff member of the church, the staff member fired his handgun once, hitting Tolver in the upper torso. Tolver ran out the back door of the church and into the parking lot where he died.

Oh man! That perp is not human. It looks like a zombie or something. It’s eyes are dead.

The way of the transgressor is hard.

Since Dothan is just down the road from Ft. Rucker, it would not at all surprise me if the church member who defended was Army or former Army.

The little bastard didn’t hold up the men with a Cross, that’s for sure.

Nothing stronger than a Bible and a .45!

I read that years ago and it still makes sense to me.

You aren’t wired right.

Seeing a man flop around in a ditch in his final moments as his intestinal contents gush out through a shotgun wound is the definition of obscenity. Even if he’s Pol Pot.

Pray you never have to take a life, but if you do, pray for a quick clean kill. If you mess that part up, there is no option for a mercy shot like even a rabid dog would get.

Only one state held out for slavery. They compromised with Georgia to make it all 13 states unanimous. Read about the Black Robe Brigade to find out how the churches felt about fighting England. 26 of the 55 signers had seminary degrees.I can assure you I'm not "ignorant" of American History.

You sound like a liberal troll talking about slavery. Slavery was all over the world and England was big in the slave trade of America and the rest of the world. You must have forgotten that England was the Empire running most of the world when we took them on. They ran India and Africa at the time.

I teach Sunday school at my church and have home Bible study every week and I can tell you if someone comes in my door uninvited, we won't be singing hymns to him.

BTW, I don't understand one of your comments,.... "Would being free of slavery have been worth being part of England’s empire for a longer time?" Are you saying there was no slavery under King George? Bwahahaha!

Amen to that - I always carry but it is my sincere hope to never have to aim at another person, much less actually shoot someone.

Why didn’t he just get a $100.00 gift certificate at a “gun buyback”?

The age of the intended victim should also be throw into the mix. A thug’s fist can be a deadly threat to an eighty year old victim.
