UGH... So many conflicting stories... I wonder if he began shooting outside and then entered??? That seems to be the most likely scenario seeing that reports are his body is still inside the church??? Very frustrating at this point trying to get the “facts”.
Could be, because one of the deceased was in a van.
One report stated the shooter's body was still in the doorway of the church.
It sounds like he started out in the parking lot...one eyewitness said he had a BIG BLCK gun, and she was pralyzed for a moment with fear, until her bf grabbed her and pushed her in the car. The pastor was looking out his upstairs office window and saw what took place in the parking area .
Then, witnesses saw the perp shooting in the foyer area, that’s where the guard shot him down, and his body was left there because they thought he might be booby-trapped!
At this point, he may still be there. They could be waiting for BATF anf FBI to fonish up.
It must have been chaotic. Church just getting out; hundreds of people milling about inside and out. I wonder how long they kept the people there until they felt it was safe enough for them to go to their cars and go home.
Well, we will be reading about it for days.
I pray it is not a larger conspiracy. I have a daughter married to a Baptist minister down south, and another who is a missionary in Africa!
I pray that God will protect and defend his people everywhere, and give strength and comfort to the injured and the bereaved, and watch over and heal the little children who may have witnessed this tragedy.

Local news interviewed one witness who said the gunman was actually in the service, looking like he didn’t want to be there and wearing a trench coat...FWIW
