Shots fired during southern Missouri church service

NORWOOD, Mo. (AP) Authorities say a gunman walked into a southern Missouri church service and fired two shots into the floor.

Wright County Sheriff Glenn Adler tells KOLR-TV that another round hit the ceiling Sunday morning when churchgoers tackled the man to the floor of First Baptist Church in Norwood.

KOLR-TV reports that one of the men who tackled the gunman suffered a minor shoulder injury during the struggle. No one else was hurt.

Adler told the station that the gunman may have been upset with the church but declined to elaborate.

and then reactionary responses began.

There is nothing about everybody having guns that stops any particular person's gun from from working. And if everyone is packing, everyone is also overconfident that nobody could get shot, and a person with ill intent need not conceal their own weapon in advance of shooting.

Gun owners always think the solution is MOAR GUNZ!!!! Look at Somalia and Afghanistan to see how foolish that notion is.
