MARYVILLE, Ill. – A hospital spokeswoman in a community in Illinois says one person has arrived dead from a church where a shooting reportedly occurred.

Natalie Head of Anderson Hospital in Maryville says two other people transferred from First Maryville Baptist Church were wounded in the suburb of St. Louis, Mo.

Illinois State Police Lt. Scott Compton confirms that there was a shooting in a Maryville church. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch and KDSK-TV Channel 5 of St. Louis say the shooting occurred at the First Baptist Church in Maryville.

The Post-Dispatch also says the suspected attacker is in custody.

Maryville is about 20 miles northeast of St. Louis.

Churches are obviously crime-infested slums, and should be shut down for the greater good.  

[ArmasTermin]

Not surprising considering how high St. Louis's crime rate is. Bunch of loons and sick-minded criminals attracted to that place. $10 says the only one in the church with a gun that day was the guy that came there to shoot people.

whee

That's roughly like, two and a half hours away from me in good traffic.

And Armas; No kidding, it's a church.

MARYVILLE, Ill. – Illinois State Police say the pastor gunned down at a church in a St. Louis suburb used a Bible to deflect the first of four rounds fired during his Sunday sermon.

State Police Director Larry Trent says the Bible exploded, producing what appeared to be confetti.

Trent says about 150 people in attendance initially believed the episode was a skit being performed as part of the service at First Baptist Church in Maryville.

Trent says only one of the four rounds fired from the .45 caliber handgun struck and killed 45-year-old pastor Fred Winters.

Two congregants and the gunman suffered stab wounds while the gunman was wrestled to the floor after his gun jammed.

Trent says no one at the church recognized the gunman.

Okay, that's pretty ******** cool. Pastor Winters used his l33t Matrix skills to block a bullet with a bible.

There is no bible. xd

Church is in lakewood, Dad lives in Gig Harbor now, Sister in Auburn. Thats about it. I might be headed back up that way. Or might head to AZ... things are a tad hectic.

If I went to church I would carry.

I wonder how many churches are 'gun free zones', I also wonder was that church one too? Obviously none of the goers were armed.

Too bad he didnt survive. I mean, it was god thinking of him to use the bible, since they're usually like encyclopedias and thick enough to at least slow the round down alittle.

You think after the 3rd round, God was like, "Alright man, you're on your own" =P

The story I heard said that the gun jammed after the 4 shots.

Also heard the troops are coming home.

Well, I guess it has to end some time.
Although they're apparently still keeping some for 'security' reasons.
