Atlanta Woman Pulled A Gun on Rep.Trey Gowdy In Church Parking Lot.....Why?????
<snip>
In one of the more bizarre incidents weve ever heard of involving a South Carolina politician (and trust us, thats saying something), an Atlanta woman pulled a gun on Gowdy in the parking lot of the First Baptist Church in downtown Spartanburg on Sunday evening.
According to the citys public safety director, the woman identified as 52-year-old Gloria Yvonne Brackett tapped on the window of Gowdys vehicle some time after 8:30 p.m. and accused him of following her. She then pulled a gun on Gowdy, at which point he threw his car in reverse and peeled out of the parking lot (where he had gone to pick up his daughter from a church service).
WTF, right Police say that there is nothing to indicate a prior connection between Gowdy and Brackett whhad a .32 caliber pistol and a box of ammo in her possession at the time of her arrest although Gowdy certainly isnt elaborating on the incident.

I don't know WTF is going on. However, I do know you don't accidentally end up in a Spartanburg Church parking lot aiming a gun at a random stranger. If you go to Spartanburg, you meant to be there.
I want to know the rest of the story!

Sorry, couldn't resist. Just didn't want this thread to devolve into yet another gungeon/GD flame fest.
Peace to all.

It wouldn't be the first time a Republican congress member was caught acting oddly in the "sexual appetite" department.
