COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — At least four people were shot outside of a Colorado Springs church on Sunday, but it was not immediately known whether the shootings were related to an earlier shooting about 70 miles away, authorities said.

I won’t tell you how I know but in our church any LEO in the church service have been asked to carry and any attendees who have concealed carry permits are asked to pack also. It’s a word of mouth thing, not announced from the pulpit.

This all began several years ago when a guy burst into a local church and held the congregation hostage over a domestic despute with his wife, a member of the congregation.

Probably over a dress code violation.

Baptist joke (told me by my Baptist pastor many years ago):

Q: Why don't Baptists have sex standing up?

A: People might think they were dancing.

I do believe that a person’s sexual orientation can change with therapy. But I don’t believe a person actually chooses to be homosexual. I think probably they are born that way, but there is also the possibility that it is a result of their upbringing. But I think that is more likely to result in “gay” acting heterosexuals. Although for the record I hate it when people call others “gay” simply because they act a little different than themselves.

Several Injured In Church Shooting; Suspect In Custody

Police: No Link Between Shooting In Colo. Springs & Youth Center Shooting

Thomas Hendrick, News Editor
POSTED: 1:26 pm MST December 9, 2007
UPDATED: 4:20 pm MST December 9, 2007

DENVER -- Authorities said several people were shot outside the New Life Church in Colorado Springs Sunday afternoon.

Reports indicated three to five people were shot in the parking lot just after 1 p.m. The late service would have been ending just at the shooting occurred.

The victims were rushed to area hospitals to receive treatment, said Fletcher Howard of the Colorado Springs Police Department.

One suspect was taken into custody, Howard said, and police were searching the area for any other suspects.

Reports indicated that the suspect was one of the people who had been shot. His condition was not released.

Investigators also reported they found a pipe bomb in the parking lot of the church. A K-9 unit from the Air Force Academy has been called out to the scene to assist investigators. [emphasis mine]

Police said they did not believe the shooting is connected with shootings earlier Sunday at a missionary training center in Arvada.

"We are not in a place to confirm any information about any possible similarities to these incidents," said Arvada Police Chief Don Wick at a news conference Sunday afternoon.

Two people died in that incident.

New Life is the 10,000-member megachurch that was thrown into the national spotlight last year when pastor Ted Haggard admitted to "sexual immorality" following allegations he paid a man for sex.

“details behind all of this”

Had a mall shooting in Central Ohio yesterday, being identified as gang related. Teen shooter. One guy shot.

I don’t support the idea that news corps report details if the shooter or plural shooters don’t fit the lone gunman theory. Our news is propaganda. Nothing is reported if the theory doesn’t fit the politics. The scene is cleared. The fog created gives time to set up the story that is repeated until it becomes ‘fact’—even if it’s not.

I’m watching a live feed of the scene. People are standing around. Been reported that at least one perp was shot by security guards. If they’re still looking for someone, I think it would have to be an accomplice.

By "no link," do they mean "not the same shooter"?

If so, then that itself may very well be evidence OF a link. Multiple separate similar attacks are an AlQ trademark.

I would know and you would know ... but the average person who has never fired or heard a real burst of full auto fire thinks that three or four rapid shots is atomatic fire.

Sounds like the a bomb from the Iraq war.

I guess it is the new word used globally for bomb.

To close to IUD if those actually exist anymore.

.

I know that

It was just the perfect putdown for a liberal

When they say about some in politics who never served “They should not be allowed to speak or vote on military matters” I say they need to stop speaking about it right now as they never wore the uniform

When they claim the 2nd Ammendment needs to be disregarded - I tell them they need to stop taliking as I wish to disregard the 1st Ammendment (although it only applies to government infringements)
