One person was shot dead and two injured on Thursday evening at a church in Alabama during a 'Boomers' Potluck', police in Vestavia Hills said.
Captain Shane Ware of Vestavia Hills police said the gunman is in custody.
The church, St Stephen's Episcopal, in a suburb of Birmingham, was hosting a 5-7pm 'Boomers Potluck'.
Victims have been taken to Birmingham's UAB hospital - the only level one trauma center in the state of Alabama.
'At approximately 6:22 PM Central Time the Vestavia Hills Police Department responded to Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church located at 3775 Crosshaven Drive Vestavia Hills, AL on a call of an active shooter,' the police wrote on Facebook.
'Multiple law enforcement agencies and fire departments responded to the scene.
'The VHPD confirms multiple people were shot. The suspect is in custody.'
Rev. Kelley Hudlow with the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama said they did not know how many people were inside the building at the time.
She said the congregation were inside the church, when someone came in and started shooting.

Hmm. Memory hole or news cycle? We’ll know when the perp’s picture comes out, if it does.
Such a disgusting thing, for an individual to attack and try to kill innocent people in church.
I will be praying for the victims and their families.
No info on the perp yet other than he is in custody
Every church needs armed greeters nowadays. It can be discrete but this evil is plaguing our nation and won’t be stopped easily.
Jane’s Revenge again?
Police just said a second person has died. One other person is receiving treatment at UAB level 1 trauma center.
Vestavia Hills is 83 percent white.
I doubt it is Jane’s Revenge. The Episcopal Church is a very liberal group. Look at the picture of the female pastor. It screams lesbian.
WOW! Is that a diesel dyke or what?
Kelley Hudlow, the pastor is gay for sure, but that’s no motive for murder.
Exactly.
My WAG is domestic dispute.
Sad ping to state ping list.
UAB is a very good medical center.
” Memory hole or news cycle?”
Judging from the photos, this one will be at least a 2 day news cycle.
No graffiti. No trash in the street. From what can be seen in the photos, area looks like a very nice clean neighborhood.
Yeah, at least a 2 day news cycle event.
This shooter had to know about this potluck it’s kind of an obscure thing to the public. I wonder if it’s some vendetta, gripe…

Quasi legal advice;
Carriers get together, discuss and devise a plan and shut up about it.
Probably just came from his MK ultra shrink.
