As I recall yes, it was a govt issued pistol.
So heartbreaking. If my daughter died in my arms like that my faith would be tested.
I have a hard time also with what’s happening in the world; I don’t believe that God is looking at us like we were in some sort of large soup bowl wondering what the heck to do. He will sort it out in the end. That’s my belief. I pray for the evil doers as well as their victims and those of victimless crimes like sickness and infirmities.
