Gunman arrested after trying to shoot Pennsylvania pastor during church sermon in wild caught-on-camera moment​

A gunman has been arrested after pulling a firearm on a Pennsylvania pastor over the weekend in the middle of a sermon in a terrifying caught-on-camera ordeal.
Bernard Polite, 26, was nabbed after trying to shoot pastor Glenn Germany at the Jesus’ Dwelling Place Church in North Braddock on Sunday afternoon, cops said.
A terrifying live-stream of the ordeal showed the pastor ducking for cover as the perp brandished the weapon.

I started to begin to preach, and all of a sudden, from my left-hand side, I saw him move from the back to the front of the church, and he set up in the front corner of the church and smiled at me.​

“All of a sudden, I just saw a gun pointing right at me. And at that point, all I could try to do is run for cover.”[/COLOR]

​

The church’s deacon, Clarence McCallister, was filmed leaping across and tackling Polite in the immediate aftermath. He and the pastor then disarmed the suspect and pinned him down until cops arrived.
Germany, whose 14-year-old daughter was in the church at the time, said the suspect later revealed to him in custody that he’d seen “spirits” in his mind telling him to open fire.
“This guy was just dealing with spirits he said, and he came in and wanted to shoot somebody,” Germany said. “He said you ducked a taco today, that’s what he told me, and I guess that’s slang for you ducked a bullet.

German miraculously wasn’t shot during the ordeal after the gun jammed.​

“He actually apologized to me. I told him ‘I forgive you and want you to know I love you’,” the pastor revealed in a separate interview on NBC’s “Today.”
Polite is facing a slew of charges, including aggravated assault and attempted homicide.
Meanwhile, Allegheny County Police are investigating after the body of a 56-year-old man was discovered in the home where Polite lived — less than half a mile away from the church.

It wasn’t immediately clear when the victim – identified as Derek Polite – was gunned down.​

Cops haven’t disclosed if they have a suspect in that shooting.
The exact relationship between Polite and the victim wasn’t immediately known but local outlets reported the church gunman lived there with his uncle.

Mental illness is a serious. Pastor better put some serious overtime in on his relationship with God. He literally and figuratively dodged a bullet. Irony is, brother name is Polite. What are the odds?

I need to know the back story before I pass judgement...

You all know without having to be told that the Pastor raped that Brother, there I said if no one else will!

See this just like baseball. If you going after the pitcher, you gotta get the catcher first. If you gone get the pastor, you gotta get the decons first. Them cats is like a broke dick secret service in that joint.

Sadly we live in an era where a Black man walks into a church and tries to shoot a pastor giving a sermon. Yet the pastor is immediately suspected of foul play. I'll wait for the facts of the matter to be presented. Six years after the assassination of Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. His mother Alberta Christine Williams King, was gunned down as she played the organ for morning service in the Ebenezer Baptist Church in the center of Atlanta, Georgia, by a Negro named Marcus Wayne Chenault. Marcus Wayne Chenault, a "Hebrew Israelite", said that "all Christians" were his enemies.

You sure you got this right? James Earl Ray? You sure? Not Marcus Wayne Chenault, but James Earl Ray?

he probably had a real good reason
Most pastors are pieces of shit

Edit: that may have been staged. If he wanted to smoke him, he woulda pulled the trigger

Something strange about the whole thing. If he wanted to kill him why pick the wrong place at the wrong time. Unless it really was mental illness.
