An usher hopped up and tackled the man, successfully disarming him.
Police were called to the scene to arrest the gunman. As local police searched the gunman’s home, they found the body of a deceased man who had been shot to death. The deceased party’s relation to the gunman has not been revealed as of the writing of this article. Pastor Glenn Germany says this was a clear case of mental illness, and he forgives Bernard Junior.
