The good news? According to the article, the shooter “is currently dead.”

Now it didn’t say permanently dead, so I don’t know if they expect to have a trial for him sometime in the future, or if the authoraties had contacted the coroner yet.

No need to hire security guards if everyone packed.

Not everyone.

You need trained armed people.

Situational awareness is vital and not everyone is capable of that in a tense situation.

Most every church can come up with a dozen or so volunteers that can pay for their own firearm and training.

“he opened the hollowed out Bible and took out the hidden loaded pistol.”

Hmmm... Sounds like a worthy use for an older Bible. I have quite a stash.

A hymnal would work, too. Sadly, most churches don’t use them any more.

We’ll know as much as the authorities will allowed us to know after they purged the shooter’s social media content..

I watched that movie not to long ago. It also had Roddy McDowell in it. Dean sang the theme song Five Card Stud. Great movie!

What’s going on in KY? That’s two shootings today. One in Louisville and this one in Lexington.

And they still publish stories on “why do Americans have suspicions over government reports” and “More Americans distrust the news media.”

Just tell the truth once.

The (alleged) shooter is dead now.
He has no rights.

Except family rights to the profit from news interviews and books someday.

Best report so far from ABC News:
Two women were shot and killed at a Kentucky church by a suspect who fled there after allegedly shooting a state trooper elsewhere, according to officials.

A suspect allegedly shot a Kentucky State Police trooper near the Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, KY, and then fled to a church, where the suspect shot four people before police shot and killed the suspect, officials said at a Lexington Police Department press conference late Sunday afternoon.

Two of the churchgoers, both women, were killed, officials said. The other two victims, both male, were taken to the hospital for treatment. One of them is in critical condition while the other is stable, according to officials.

The incident occurred at approximately 11:36 a.m. on Sunday when a suspect “shot a trooper and then fled the scene,” Kentucky State Police said in a statement.

It will continue as long as we condone it by essentially doing nothing except make threats. When was the last time we executed a murderer? crickets

I guess Brits don’t know the difference between a State Trooper and a Deputy Sheriff, unless one of each was wounded.
