(breaking) Meanwhile, in Wayne MI, some screwball rammed his truck into a church, then shot a security guard in the leg, with some kind of rifle, while a church deacon ran him over in *his* truck, making an opening for the security guard to shoot him dead. (very still developing).

The church minister then said they had been working on their defense for at least 10 years.

Weird title for the article. “Syria’s Damascus“? Who else’s Damascus would it be? Could they not say “Damascus, Syria“?
