Another Church Shooting.

I wrote this up yesterday but forgot to post it . . .

IF you go to a church that is a "Gun Free Zone" please consider the following from Yahoo! News
RICHMOND, Calif. – Police were seeking a hooded gunman who horrified the congregation of a San Francisco Bay area church when he paced the aisles then pulled out a gun and shot two teenagers.

"Some of us" hang out near the back of the church packing heat, in case just this sort of thing might happen. After all, it's happened before.
The gunman flanked by two companions in hooded sweatshirts walked into the church, scanned the pews and fired about five shots, hitting a 14-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man in front of about 100 people, Richmond police Sgt. Bisa French said. The 14-year-old was hit in the shoulder and the 19-year-old was struck in the leg, French said. Both victims, whose names haven't been released, were hospitalized and were expected to survive. There were no other injuries.

??? Five shots, resulting in two minor injuries? It is fortunate that nobody teaches street thugs to shoot properly, I suppose.
"It's terrible when you come to the house of the Lord and start doing this," Miller said. "It's just something you don't do."

No, pal, it's something YOU don't do. These jokers obviously did.
A handful of congregants returned to the church after police processed the crime scene and finished the service. "We went on and had church anyway," Miller told the Chronicle. "We were giving thanks that nobody was killed. We wanted to go and serve the Lord anyway."

Sounds like my church . . . except there would be an additional part in the article where the suspects had been shot Dead-Right-There by several congregants. I'd hate to call anybody out by name, but I suspect that the forensic investigation into the shooting of the shooter would be . . . complicated.

Carry your guns, people! And remember, Texans, a CHL holder may legally carry a concealed handgun in Texas unless the premise is posted in accordance with the law, or there has been specific verbal disallowance of carry in that church (in which case, you should be going to a different church anyway).

Oh, and by the way, here is my bet: 95% odds these cats were either young black males and/or gangbangers or else members of the religion of Peace. That may also explain why this is the first you heard of this story: Politically-incorrect criminals (only white men are bad, donchaknow)
