At least eight dead... this guy knew exactly when to strike. Wednesday night bible study or services. He's still at large.

Wow, one of the tweets says that the pastor of the church is a state senator.

This tweeter is posting photos and videos. I'm hearing 9 are dead and more victims in the church.

According to the reporter, there's now a bomb threat, too. Seems like this guy wants to be the new James Holmes.

I am not understanding why CNN and MSNBC are not covering this?

They LOVE their "Breaking News" banners...this is when they are actually useful!

The bomb threat is terrifying. I wish they would update on that, as there was supposedly a timer on the device found.

Via twitter there is man cuffed in custody but it's a photographer, not the suspect.

He had a camera with him.

The killer probably made the bomb threat.
