Emanuel Kidega Samson, Tennessee church shooting suspect from Sudan, charged with murder
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Witnesses and police described a chaotic scene as a masked attacker armed with two guns shot seven people, killing one, in a Tennessee church before he was subdued.
Burnette Chapel Church of Christ member Minerva Rosa said members were talking about the success of their yard sale the previous day when they heard gunshots outside.
The church pastor, David Spann , 60, shouted, “Run, run, gunshots!” as congregants hid under pews or in bathrooms, according to a witness.
A masked gunman carrying two guns entered the church from the back after fatally shooting a woman outside, police said. He then walked through the church silently, shooting six more people before he was subdued by an usher, police said. Police later recovered another pistol and a shotgun from the suspect’s vehicle.
Rosa said the reading that day had been from Luke, Chapter 8, and she recalled the part about a woman who touched Jesus and was cured of bleeding.

We tend to believe that we are highly evolved. Instead we are, basically, still nasty little monkeys.
I guess one of the victims has died. Man, just too sad.
If one can believe the initial story lines a young man pretty much saved the day. Wrassled with the perp and then ran to his rig to get his own gun and held him till the poleece arrived. Good for him if it turns out to be true.
I read a few other stories about this.....it's pretty much true, I guess the shooter lost all steam when he shot himself during the tussle
Yeah, I read he shot himself in the chest. Dang.
What the Hell is wrong with folks? I'd say these days, but it has ever been thus.
No word on motive yet?
He's either black or Muslim. Maybe a jackpot , for some people, will be hit and he'll turn out to be both.
