Because he did not know ... he did not know who the dead member of the Church was ... but he would get to know the family!
good, she(?) would get asked if using her gun was right and if you had hit a person other than the shooter.... so forth.....
Although he did give an emphatic "No" to this question as he walked to the mike (the question was actually shouted at the police spokesman who was just walking away), I didn't think he acted "ticked off" in any way. Yes, I too was ticked at the questions being asked by those reporters, but I'm not going to project my feelings on the pastor.
Interesting thing about that pastor - I had two different reactions to him, back to back. First, when they asked him what his own personal tale to tell was, he said that he was in his office when the shots were fired and then someone came in to tell him. His first reaction he said, was to call his wife to make sure she was OK and out of harm's way. He then visibly started to tear up and turned away from the mike.
My instant reaction was negative. Based on my years of rigorous Hollywood training (I watched every season of "24"), I said to myself, "WHAT?!?" He's the head of this church! Their general! Their President! He should have immediately got in touch with all his security guards, with his TAC teams, with his communications staff, etc. etc. How dare he shrug all that responsibility off his shoulders and concentrate on his wife?
Then it dawned on me. This isn't Jack Bauer. This is a real life pastor who has never commanded a SWAT team in his life (not counting prayer SWAT teams, that have very different training). The more I thought about it, I thought, Good for you pastor! Your heart was in the right place. Your first reaction was the right one.
If I'm ever in the Springs on a Sunday morning, I know where I want to visit!
