https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...nessee-n804321One person was killed and seven others were wounded during a shooting at a church in Antioch, Tennessee, on Sunday morning.
The gunman arrived in the parking lot of Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch around 11:15 a.m. local time (12:15 p.m. ET) and fatally shot a woman as she was walking to her car, Don Aaron, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said at a press conference.
"Six innocent persons inside the church were wounded by gunfire, they have been taken to area hospitals," he said Sunday afternoon.
After killing the woman in the parking lot, the shooter entered the main sanctuary door, which was at the rear of the sanctuary, Aaron said at a later press conference.
"After doing so he began indiscriminately shooting," he said.
A church usher confronted the gunman, Aaron said, and was "pistol whipped" by the man.
"There was a significant struggle between the two," he said, adding, "During the struggle, the gunman shot himself, probably not intentionally, in the left pectoral muscle."
The usher, who was a licensed gun owner, went to his vehicle and retrieved his own fire arm, returned to the church and "made sure that the gunman didn’t make any more movements until the police department arrived," he said.
The shooter, whom police have identified as a "26-year-old African American individual" was being heavily guarded in a hospital, and is not believed to have life-threatening injuries, officials said.
Aaron said police were not aware of any relation between the gunman and the congregation, but the investigation was still ongoing.
Police said there were a number of witnesses to the shooting in the church and they were being interviewed by the authorities.
The gunman was apparently wearing "a type of neoprene mask," Aaron said, adding that it was the kind of half mask a skier might wear.

Shame on him! He should know that race is only valid if the shooter's white!

Countering racial stereotypes is good isn't it? There's a joke in some subcultures that white kids are apt to go crazy and shoot up schools (mostly pushed by black racists). Originally Posted by Vegas82

If this were a white man shooting up a black church, it would be all over the news. Biased media coverage is what causes much of the racial tensions in this country. Originally Posted by Vegas82

Eagerly awaiting the hate crime crowd because shooter was black and congregation at this church is mostly white.
Yup, just waiting right here for all the people talking about how racist all black people are and that this person is 100% functional normal human being who is just pure racism incarnate.

Because they decided that the death is an appropriate price to pay for the freedom to carry bang sticks. Originally Posted by Prothynyas

Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

I have a feeling asking "why are Mexicans so violent?" wouldn't be acceptable while the same question about a different country north of it is treated as only technically nation-bashing at best, and acceptable and legitimate the rest of the time. Originally Posted by Winter Blossom

Homicide rate in the US is 5-10 times as high as in western europe. That map is pretty distorted. Originally Posted by Winter Blossom

People hate one another, as evident by everything seen around leading up before this. People always want to respond the same way because it is a relfex to default on the "What is going on" or "I don't understand"
And if you respond this way or have this reaction you are 1 of 2 types of people 1, Ignorant and not conscious of the world around or, 2, Just stupid and just like to act shocked to pretend you don't know what is going on to separate yourself from everyone else.
I mean I personally get it, people hate one another, if you have a weapon and access to make people pay for whatever you feel is wrong, if you have nothing else to lose why not?

Because people who have no intention of changing the situation can make themselves look better by "feeling sad" about it. Originally Posted by schwarzkopf
