My sympathies to the family for their loss.
Also, I feel sorry for the Security Guard who will be haunted for the rest of his life for this horrific lack of judgement.

Selling a gun in church? Obviously the man selling the gun was aware he shouldn't be doing that, why else is he hiding in the closet?

They were not selling the firearm.

The man is a security officers and they had moved away from the crowd of people for safety reasons. The younger man was seeking advice from the security officer on what to buy.

Pastor Kelly, I am so sorry to hear about the shooting and the passing away of your daughter Kelly.
She was a beautiful girl and very talented. She danced in our church for productions, Park Place Wesleyan Church. I pray for your family that God will give your the strengh to get through this.

Hardly accidental . . . bringing a loaded gun into a place of worship is CRIMINAL.

No, in many states it is perfectly legal so long as the property is not posted.

Especially in the south. It is normal to drive to church with a shotgun in a carrier in your truck. Having guns everywhere is the norm. This is a terrible accident and it happens all too often. When I was involved in Boy Scouts, I tried to teach all that there is no such thing as an empty gun. Always treat it as it was loaded. But, most thought that was stupid so I am not surprised when this happens.

It happened in church so I am sure their god will forgive them. Isn't that what they profess.

Another “notch in the belt” of the NRA.

Actually the security officer violated several of the safety rules taught by the NRA.

Guns are perfect for killing . . . quick, easy and impersonal . . . just the way the NRA lobby likes it.

This video is lame since it tells you nothing of what actually happened to the other feet identified, only that the deaths are not deemed 'suspicious'...If you're going to bother to say the feet have been identified and are not considered suspicious at least say how the victims died. It really does nothing to clear up the mystery.

I think a gunshot to the head sums it up pretty good.
