Im sure there is much more to the story. Church leadership does not make these sort of decision without going through biblical reasoning, he must have provoked them.
The guy has been on several local news outlets and has basically “bragged” he had tried to stop the kid and got shot in the arm.
It’s possible he did just that in an attempt to help. I’m not sure about the remarks that he repeatedly asked one of the guards to give up his weapon though, that sounds a bit odd, and I’m sure as hell not handing a weapon over to someone else no matter who he is, and especially not when he’s begging for it.
That’s what sounds “off” in this story to me.
Larry Bourbonnais, 59, left church grounds peacefully at the request of church officials, who called in Colorado Springs police for extra support.
“He cooperated, and we told him that he wasn’t welcome back on the property,” police Sgt. Lonnie Spanswick said.
Church officials told police they plan to file a restraining order against Bourbonnais, Spanswick said.”
What provocation would evoke this response? Would critisizing the armed guard that did nothing be reason enough?
“Church leadership does not make these sort of decision without going through biblical reasoning, he must have provoked them.”
In a perfect world.

Depends on the people involved.
There are many, many places, both in business and in volunteer organizations, where the rule from Dilbert applies:
"Don't step in the leadership."
