Gatekeepers at Houses of Worship

摘要

AS this is written, the entire country has been shocked by yet another mass shooting. This one occurred at the First Baptist Church in the small town of Sutherland Springs, Texas. Twenty-six people were killed, with the victims ranging in age from 17 months to 77 years old. An armed citizen stopped the carnage by engaging the murderer-hitting him at least once-which caused him to drop his weapon and flee the area in his vehicle. While horrible, the death toll could have been much higher without the quick action of the armed citizen.
