"Suspect Emanuel Kidega Samson, 25, opened fire at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ at 11:15 a.m. Sunday, officials said."FWIW, Mr Samson is apparently a bodybuilder who immigrated to the United States from Sudan.
But, it gets better. Much better.
Samson was stopped by a guy who had a Tennessee concealed carry permit...
One church member, 22-year-old Caleb Engle, confronted the shooter before being pistol whipped in the face. Engle then went to his car to retrieve a gun, which he has under a concealed carry license.**********
Engle returned to the church to confront the gunman again.
“He’s the hero here,” Nashville police chief Steve Anderson said. “He’s the person who stopped this madness in its tracks.”

"At least seven people were wounded – and one woman, Melanie Smith, was killed – when a masked gunman opened fire inside the Burnette Chapel Church in Antioch, Tennessee."That's strange... suddenly the media doesn't want to talk about race or white privilege. Think we'll see as much coverage as the Dylan Roof shooting got?
