3/8/09 Horrified…

Filed Under Off topic | 2 Comments

It is all over the news here in the St. Louis area..earlier this morning, a gunman walked into the First Baptist Church in Maryville and opened fire on the pastor, who was killed. A couple of others were injured, apparently fairly badly (though not sure if the injuries are life threatening) and they were flown by helicopter to a hospital in St. Louis. At some point the gunman turned a knife on himself, and is in surgery and listed as in serious condition. I am just so horrified and saddened by this..at this point the police have no motive and the gunman has no prior convictions of any kind. And this is just not an area that you would think of something like this happening. I have friends and their families who attend this church but as far as I can tell none of them were there when this happened. Prayers are going out for all those affected by today’s tragedy!
