A First Communion service in Louisiana erupted in panic when a 16-year-old armed with a rifle attempted to storm the church through a back door.
But parishioners spotted the teen and swarmed him — holding him outside until police arrived and arrested him.
The terrifying scene unfolded at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Abbeville — which was full of parents with young children who were there for the rite of passage in the church.
The incident was streamed live on the church’s website Saturday morning as Fr. Nicholas G. Dupré led the faithful in prayer from the altar.
In the dramatic video, parishioners seated at pews toward the front of the church can be seen nervously glancing behind them as the commotion began about 48 minutes into the service.

Another teen who wasn’t spanked enough as a kid.
Attempted terrorism and mass murder. Needs to be charged as an adult and the public to know everything about him.
Always Be Carrying.
.....I don’t think there is ANY resolution of “shooter” problems for schools and churchs but blocking and guarding entrances with well armed and sane adults.
Doing away with guns in this world is as likely as a human sprouting wings and flying across the Atlantic. Today, with not much trouble, a gun can be made in ones garage.
Locking up a few individuals suspected of being a possible future shooter is ridiculous.
A good guy with a gun is needed in seconds, NOT MINUTES!!!
They want to disarm whites, so any criminal black or moslem can attack any church with no armed opposition.
Aside from being grateful that all the innocents in the story are safe there is nothing new I can add to this story but I will say, it is nice to read about a church full of parents and children.
Shooter was white according to police in this case
Will we soon learn the FBI was “aware” of him?
my point stands.
.......I don’t think “they” are that orgainized. I do worry about Radical Muslims/Palestinians starting to shoot up churches though.
I can smell the mixture of B.O. and basement from here.
They just want to disarm whites. They want whites to be defenceless. Meanwhile they exhort all non-whites to hate whites.
And they don’t prosecute non-whites for illegal firearms posession. Alvin Bragg ran on that as a campaign platform.

Doesn’t take any great planning.
Is that Boudreaux or Thibodaux?
Great comments at the link.
God bless the people who stopped that kid. Very likely they saved some lives.
