Police: Parishioners kill man who fatally shoots 2 at Texas churchA man pulled out a shotgun at a Texas church service and fired on worshippers Sunday, killing two people before he was shot to death by congregants who fired back, police said. Imagine that good guy didn't have a gun. 'Imagine no one had a gun' you'll say. Imagine criminals followed laws and didn't buy black market firearms. The Lord helps those who help themselves. Fewer Canadians are attending church... so the body count would be less.
