    Several years ago a young JW man had just gotten into his car after the meeting when another man walked up and shot him to death. Seems the JW had been doing the horizontal mambo with the gunmans wife. Ouch!

    Some people would see that as Jehovah cleaning his organisation. Sick.

    Police looking for man who shot at churchgoers

    By BRENT ADAMS Columbia police were looking for a man who fired at worshipers leaving a north Columbia church Monday night, wounding a 36-year-old woman. At about 9:05 p.m., police responded to a report of a masked man firing shots at a crowd of people leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses Assembly Hall, located at 2207 Holly Ave., in north Columbia. When police arrived at the church, they found an unidentified woman who had been hit in her hip and her arm. She was taken to a local hospital, treated for non-life-threatening injuries and has been released, according to a news release from the Columbia Police Department. “The entire Major Crimes Unit is working on this and has made this a priority,” said Sgt. Ken Hammond, head of the unit. “We have been working throughout the night.” According to the news release, the suspect was wearing a mask and dark clothing, is between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 9 inches and weighs about 160 pounds. Hammond said that there was no evidence that the hall or the victim were specifically targeted. According to a recording on the church’s answering machine, the building is used by four congregations: a south Columbia congregation, a Spanish-language congregation, an Oakland Gravel congregation and a Hinkson Creek congregation

    I am not trying to be funny but if this had happened outside of a Catholic Church wouldn't the local cong use the story in service as an example of J's protection at the hall vs church....at the very least there would be some sort of commentary about the Evils of Church goers,,,,and I can't imagine if she would have been an "apostate" leaving a church. Also - it must be driving them crazy to see the KH reffered to as a Church...

    Just thinking here...... If the elders were interviewed by the police and asked "do you know anyone who might want to do this?"

    How likely do you think it would be for the elders give up names of known apostates in the area as potential suspsects?

    You wonder what will be next, the hiring of armed security for the assemblies? Interesting how they all ran back in the building and left one of their own to possibly be shot to death .

    ""Interesting how they all ran back in the building and left one of their own to possibly be shot to death .""

    "Investigators learned the gunman opened fire at a group of worshipers as they were leaving the hall. Everyone was able to run back into the church."

    Article doesn't say anyone was left outside does it? It say everyone was able to run inside. Sounds like that includes the person hit.
