From what I have read, there were still approximately 7,000 people in the church when he pulled up, and started shooting in the parking lot (killing the two sisters). He then went in the front door of the church, and was confronted and shot by the security guard (God bless her!) before he got into the sanctuary. He had over a thousand rounds of ammo in his pockets. He could have killed much more than one hundred!
And regarding an earlier post to you wondering if his home was in the neighborhood I raised my kids - yes it is. My kids played at that address with the children who lived there at the time. (My old stompin’ grounds!) The house was sold to the Murray’s in 1986.
too weird, yorkie....too weird!
I’m also praying right now that all the anti-gun activists out there see that there is a purpose and a need for citizens to have guns. If it weren’t for this church hiring security in the first place we would be praying for many, many more victims, that’s a fact... By the time police could’ve responded this person could have killed hundreds, and without knowing his locations, etc... it’s not likely they would’ve stormed the building (if past events are any indicator). This would’ve been probably the worst incident of its kind the world had seen if it were not for Miss Assam.
Actually police aren't sure if she shot him or if he shot himself.
