Another mass shooting stopped by an armed defender. Most coverage not mentioning that the usher stopped the shooting and killing.

The lack of details about the shooting and the shooter is a yet another example of why the media has abandoned journalism for political correctness.

Authorities said one woman was killed and seven others were wounded after a 26-year-old African-American man wearing a ski mask opened fire at a Tennessee church Sunday.

Huge that Fox News is identifying the shooter's race. I assumed it was a black guy because the other articles didn't automatically describe him as a white male, but rather as a "shooter with mental problems." And the situation didn't seem as bad from the description.

The fact he went in with a ski-mask suggests it wasn't a PTSD or mental breakdown of any kind.

At every church I've attended the gunman would of been bullet-ridden and lifeless 2 seconds after he showed his weapon.

Now here is where everyone needs to pay attention.

I guaran-darn-tee you that there will be no mention of what the gunman said while shooting. It will be captured in police interviews but not released.

You know why...

No, it’s not a duplicate.

The shooter was a coward and tried to shoot himself. He is also a loser because he failed to kill himself. Somebody should have helped him before the cops got there.

Now the people have to pay for the bastard. Hear that cops? You are so handy to kill dogs and innocents why don’t you take care of this criminal and justifiably earn your pay and fat pensions?

Is it a church with a mostly black congregation, mixed or white?

He may be a jilted lover since he was suicidal, or a schizophrenic. I’d think a true ideological terrorist would keep shooting even if confronted by an usher with a gun.

Thankfully the usher had one, but a shame he didn’t have it in the building.

A woman who was fatally shot had just left church and was walking to her car when she was shot, police said.

Maybe he was after her to begin with... failed love interest?
