Church shooting -- pastor dead

[Robinsegg]

Hello brothers and sisters,
This morning, a man walked up the aisle during the 8 am service at First Baptist Church in Maryville, IL and shot the pastor twice. The pastor died at a St. Louis, MO hospital later. At least 2 other men were injured (I believe in critical condition) while trying to stop the shooter. I'm not certain what happened to the shooter after that.

Please pray for this church and the men involved and their families.
