Was it a domestic incident ?
Or another Dylan Roof ?

Regardless... my thoughts and prayers for the survivors -- and the family of the deceased.
Churches seem so vulnerable and are generally considered 'safe places'. :(
 
One person was killed and seven others wounded Sunday after a man in a ski mask opened fire during at a church service in Antioch.

The shooter, described as a Rutherford County man in his mid 20s, shot himself after he was confronted by an armed member of the congregation and is being treated at the hospital, according to Metro Nashville Police.

Police say the gunman wore a neoprene ski mask when he shot and killed a woman in the parking lot of Burnette Chapel Church of Christ, as the service was ending shortly after 11 a.m. The gunman then entered the church and shot three men and three women, police spokesman Don Aaron said. One man who confronted the shooter while inside the church was violently pistol whipped, he said.

That exited the sanctuary, got a gun from his vehicle and confronted the shooter, who then shot himself, Aaron said.

I'm leaning toward this being an angry husband? BF? in a domestic violence situation. But why hurt and take a chance on killing all the elderly people in the church? Did he have a grudge against the church as well? Or were they possible family members who attended the same church? I have so many questions. God be with the family of the woman killed and all who saw & heard such violent acts in a place that should be one of serenity and peace.
 
Just curious but why pistol whip someone if you have a gun? Was it out of bullets?

Saw this here and starting flipping through the major news networks and have seen nothing so far...it's just Trump and the NFL..can't believe it..this is a major news story, imo...stand corrected...it's on CNN right now...so tragic!!
 
Another day, another mass shooting in America. What is this...the 254th this year alone?
 
This is in my neighborhood. Even as a former courts and crime reporter, I'm still in shock I think. We heard the whole thing.
