One woman was killed and seven other people were hurt after a suspect identified as a Sudanese immigrant opened fire at a Tennessee church Sunday, police said, as federal officials told Fox News the FBI will initiate a civil rights investigation into the shooting.
The suspect, 25-year-old Emanuel Kidega Samson, immigrated from Sudan two decades ago, police said. He's suspected of bringing two pistols and a mask to the predominantly white Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch, southeast of Nashville, before opening fire just after 11 a.m.

Thank God for that usher! He rushed the gunman inside the Church and caused Samson to shoot himself in the leg. The usher then ran to his car and retrieved his gun.
This after the usher was pistol-whipped by Samson.
After he returned with his gun, he held Sampson at gunpoint.
... I read somewhere that according to his FAB page Emanuel Kidega Samson was a big fan of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and was a ig supporter of Black Lives Matter etc etc
[After he returned with his gun, he held Sampson at gunpoint.]
Awesome.
FAB=FB as in Facebook .... Stupid Spellcheck .... Sheesh
From looking at the church’s FB page this is a very well rounded church. You would be hard pressed to call it “predominately white” unless you had an agenda.
Might as well get what we can from this article - this will almost certainly be the LAST OF IT from the media.
Given the current state of the DoJ, Im not sure whether the FBI be investigating the church or the killer.
Well, Samson shot himself and couldn’t even do that right.
Dylan Roof killed nine in church in June of 2015. Recall, that’s all we heard about for months. And still do.
But this will be down the old memory hole by the end of the week. Wrong perp, wrong victims.
Always islamism until and unless demonstrated otherwise.
I don’t know. I know it is the norm for things like this. But this is a well written article.
Doubt much will be added until they convict the perp.
Would not surprise me. His facebook page was removed, but it was archived by some posting here.
Civil Rights violations, of course.
I assume to determine if it is a hate crime. Expanded sentencing. But you cannot extend much past the death penalty.
There is some dispute about his injury. It may be that in the fight with Robert Engle, the perps gun went off and the perp shot himself by accident.
Then Engle went to his car and got his hand gun and arrested him until the police came.
Took guts for a young man. The perp is a big guy.

I'm shocked that there wasn't anyone carrying at that church. In Tennessee yet.
Heck, I'm in a deep blue state and we would have dropped him in about three seconds.
Sorry, I meant Civil Rights investigation, but I wondered exactly why...Seems criminal should cover it...
A few tidbits.
Samson claimed to be Trilingual in the following languages: English, Arabic, and Acholi (tribal language).
and a little about the acholi tribe whose language he claims to speak.
Acholiland in Uganda is the home of Joseph Kony, who proclaims himself the spokesman of God and a spirit medium and promotes a mixture of Traditional African religion and Christianity, and who leads the Lords Resistance Army. Having been forced out of Uganda, it is thought that Kony has moved his movements base to South Sudan. Konys movement has not maintained the traditions of the Acholi people.
