Security Guard Shoots Would Be Mass Murderer at Church
Posted on | December 10, 2007 | No Comments
The gunman opened fire at 12:30 a.m. at the Youth With a Mission center. Witnesses said the man asked to spend the night there and opened fire with a handgun when he was turned down. They described him as a young man, perhaps 20, in a dark jacket and cap.
Later, at New Life Church, a gunman wearing a trench coat and carrying a high-powered rifle opened fire in the parking lot and later walked into the church as a service was letting out.
Jeanne Assam, a church member who volunteers as a security guard, shot Murray, who was found with a rifle and two handguns, police said.
This is perfect example of why CCW permit holders should be allowed to carry in a church. Gun free zones do not mean that criminals will not bring weapons in an attempt to rack up a high body count when they snap, and current laws stating that you cannot carry in a church without permission of the pastor may prevent citizens from defending their lives in a similar situation. If the criminal was the only person carrying a weapon in this scenario, things would have ended much more tragically.
