A pastor in Detroit shot dead a man who came at him with a brick during Sunday’s church service
Fifteen minutes after Sunday’s afternoon service began at the City of God church in Detroit, the pastor took time out to shoot a 25-year-old man who walked into the church and threatened him with a brick.
The church is a small storefront place of worship that serves a black congregation and is located on Detroit’s west side.
Here is what Assistant Detroit Police Chief Steve Dolunt told reporters:
"The pastor had had issues with the man before," Dolunt said. "He had been threatening him to do bodily harm. He walked into the service and went after the pastor with a brick. The pastor pulled out his Glock and fired several shots. I think he hit him 4 or 5 times, and the man died."
The pistol packing preacher was taken into police custody and the gun was seized. It will be up to the prosecutor’s office to determine whether or not the shooting was justified.
You don’t suppose the preacher was diddling the brick wielder’s wife or girlfriend? Nah, a pastor would never do anything like that.
