It appears that the identity of the gunman is being protected.

Good news that church members stopped the assailant before he could go on his intentioned killing spree.

This story has been in and out of the breaking news sidebar a half dozen times today. Not sure why.

They forgot to add, “no charges have yet been filed against the Church members who subdued him”.

It appears that the identity of the gunman is being protected....something tells me this guy had a Quran in his pocket and a diaper on his head. Wonder what was inside the diaper?? The picture in the article showed both a white and a black person. So it couldn’t be a black guy in a white church. If it were a white guy in a black church, they would be holding nothing back from the media. My best guess the shooter was probably a diaper wearing Islamic fanatic.

Knoxville is my home town. Have the names of the wounded been released?

My prayers & sympathies to those injured in the attack & to the family of the dead.

Between Islam and mass-murders in churches the whole world is going insane. The End is nigh.

It’s a little surprising to find that a Unitarian Universalist church had anybody attending who would stand up to a gunman — maybe they talked him out of it?

While this is tragic, I still found this from the other thread a very revealing glimpse into what the UUniversalist “Church” is all about:

“Drevik says the shooting happened during a regular service, as children of the church were performing music from Annie for parishioners.”

One wouldn’t normally associate “Annie” with a Sunday worship service.

Just on the local news... the shooter, Jim D. Atkisson, 58 years old, charged with first degree murder. He is from Knoxville/Knox County.
