NASHVILLE, Tenn. –  Authorities in Tennessee say at least six people were injured in a shooting at a church in the Nashville area.

Nashville fire department spokesman Joseph Pleasant tells the Tennessean newspaper that at least six to eight people were hurt and were being transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center. The nature of the injuries weren't immediately known.

A dispatcher quoted by the newspaper said that the scene was still "active" at the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ as of 11:40 a.m. Sunday.

He should have taken a knee in the church instead of worshiping his murderous idol el diablo.

Media will bury this. Black refugee shoots black/white church, armed citizen stops threat.

And I fantasize about moving there to be safer.

Tennessee? Just stay on the conservative end; east of Knoxville and I-75.

Sharia law
The legal system in Sudan is based on Islamic Sharia law. The 2005 Naivasha Agreement, ending the civil war between north and south Sudan, established some protections for non-Muslims in Khartoum. Sudan’s application of Sharia law is geographically inconsistent.

Stoning remains a judicial punishment in Sudan. Between 2009 and 2012, several women were sentenced to death by stoning. Flogging is a legal punishment. Between 2009 and 2014, many people were sentenced to 40–100 lashes. In August 2014, several Sudanese men died in custody after being flogged. 53 Christians were flogged in 2001. Sudan’s public order law allows police officers to publicly whip women who are accused of public indecency.

Crucifixion is a legal punishment. In 2002, 88 people were sentenced to death for crimes relating to murder, armed robbery, and participating in ethnic clashes, Amnesty International wrote that they could be executed by either hanging or crucifixion.

International Court of Justice jurisdiction is accepted, though with reservations. Under the terms of the Naivasha Agreement, Islamic law did not apply in South Sudan. Since the secession of South Sudan there is some uncertainty as to whether Sharia law will now apply to the non-Muslim minorities present in Sudan, especially because of contradictory statements by al-Bashir on the matter.

Muslims who convert to Christianity can face the death penalty for apostasy, see Persecution of Christians in Sudan and the death sentence against Mariam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag (who actually was raised as Christian). According to a 2013 UNICEF report, 88% of women in Sudan had undergone female genital mutilation.[103] Sudan’s Personal Status law on marriage has been criticized for restricting women’s rights and allowing child marriage. Evidence suggests that support for female genital mutilation remains high, especially among rural and less well educated groups, although it has been declining in recent years. Homosexuality is illegal and is a capital offense in Sudan.

This nation has truly seen its best days and they are long gone

Unfortunately, it does seem to be that way.

My church has armed security on Sunday mornings, but if it didn't, I'd strongly consider carrying.

My internet pastor (Knoxville) is packing, and encourages all members of the congregation (especially the women) to do the same...primarily in response to the moslem menace.

Yes, exactly, stay near to Knoxville or below in E. TN. At least somebody at the church had a gun in his vehicle. Stupid to try something like that at a church in TN.

I recently read the book Slave written by a Sudanese woman stolen in early girlhood from a tribal village to be a slave for rich Muslims in Saudi. Unbelievable what goes on in this world. A sweet, innocent child, raped and abused 24/7, still a full slave when one of her owner families brought her with them on a vacation to London. A servant from a neighboring family befriended her and found out she earned zero pay and had zero rights. And got help for her to escape. Quite a story.
