This tragedy is beyond the pale. I can only imagine what transpired at the church, in front of the congregation. Our Pastor sings in our choir. DV is horrific in any scenario, but to bring it into a house of worship is a level of disrespect that defies all logic IMO.
My heart goes out to everyone affected.
