I think hell just froze over. This is the lead story at CNN.com.

According to what I've read, this guy had a rifle, was wearing a ballistic vest and tactical helmet, and his pockets were BULGING with tons of ammunition.

And she "rushed toward him and took him down in the hallway as he entered the church," where 7000 people were present.

FABULOUS job by this FEMALE ARMED CIVILIAN, credited by the pastor with probably saving over a hundred lives.

Any ID on the perp yet? Is LE unable to determine an ID, or are they hiding something they don’t want the sheeple to know?

...Police said a man with a beard, wearing a dark jacket, glasses, and skullcap, entered the facility, got into a dispute with a staff member about whether he could stay there for the night, and then opened fire.

This is the description of the guy from the first shooting. Who wears skull caps, hmm?

Then another guy just busts in heavily armed and wearing body armor, but is taken out after killing only two people - young women that I hope the Lord clasps to his breast as he comforts their family.

Then there's this nugget in the CNN story - Authorities say the Arvada and Colorado Springs shootings may be related, and overnight police from Arvada executed a search warrant obtained by Colorado Springs police for an address in the Denver suburb of Englewood. Authorities did not say how the address may relate to the case.

Isn't it interesting that these incidents happened so close together and some officials are admitting they may be related? Wonder what else might link the gunmen.

Good for her.

When will the anti-gun crowd get it thought their THICK, LIBERAL skulls that THIS is what stops criminals, crazies, and terrorists with guns and ill intent?

So-called "gun-free" zones don't get it, and never will.

It's armed law-abiding citizens of ALL stripes (church goers, students, teachers, administrators, employees, pilots, etc.) that will stop these savages in their tracks, NOT police officers who usually arrive AFTER the carnage (the recent shooter in Omaha did everything he set out to do in about 4 minutes or less, and the police didn't arrive until all the shooting was done).

Police said a man with a beard, wearing a dark jacket, glasses, and skullcap, entered the facility, got into a dispute with a staff member about whether he could stay there for the night, and then opened fire.

Hmmm...and the police have not released the shooter's identity for some reason. Maybe I'm paranoid, but this suspiciously sounds like a Religion of Peace incident.

This wasn't in the body of the article, but for posterity, the following is off of the top right of the CNN page.

Story Highlights

• NEW: Two teenage sisters killed, father wounded
• Guard who killed gunman was volunteer from congregation
• Police chief cites reason to suspect link to earlier attack on missionary center
• Police from two cities were searching an address overnight in Englewood

(Bolding emphasis mine.)

[Domandred]

I'm confused. Too many shooting headlines in the last week.

Is this the same shooting that four missionaries were killed a few days ago? Or is this like the third church shooting in the last week?

[khnyny]

Now, this is the kind of woman who should be running for POTUS, not “anti-saint Hillary of perpetual victimhood”.

[NonValueAdded]

So much for turning the other cheek, though. Perhaps a deeper look into the scripture would show it was not a call for suicide. This could be the start of something interesting. Kudos to the security guard for doing the right thing.

Thanks for the thread. She needs our prayers...I hope she has peace of mind, and pray that She is doing well.

[Flint]

Lemme see if I got this right.

A person carrying a personal weapon killed a potential mass murderer that had already killed someone someplace else.? Wonder how this will be spun by the anti-Constitution wackos?

On a sad note, the last time I checked NC CCW laws it would be illegal for me to be in a church with my Glock. Same for a movie theater or any spectator sport. Not to mention any restaurant that sells alcohol of any kind. So I guess the anti-Constitution crowd still has plenty to hope for as there are many free fire zones, including schools, for the bad guys to operate.

[Douggles]

Guns are TIGHT.

According to 9 News she was a member of the church and acted as a volunteer security guard in plainclothes. She ordinarily acted as the head pastor’s bodyguard but they beefed up security in the public areas when they heard about the shootings at the Arvada institution. Also, she does have a “law enforcement background.”

Well, the midwest just froze over anyway.....

Pinging my other “armed” hero.

[mojito]

An angel guided this brave woman’s hand to slay this evil monster. Two young and entirely innocent young women lost their lives to this vicious cretin. May he burn in hell.

[savedbygrace]

I wonder where she hit him. He had a ballistic vest and a tactical helmet on, so where did she hit him to take him down?

Sounds like some incredible shooting. Wow!

[ltc8k6]

The 2nd amendment defined.

[Hawthorn]

Highly ironic since in many states, CCW permit holders aren’t allowed to carry on church grounds.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Let’s see how the gun-grabbers try to spin this! This is what we have been saying all along!

[doug from upland]

Amazing. Look at the headline on CNN -
