Lunatic shoots up Ted Haggard's old church

This is a developing story out of Colorado, so we'll be keeping up with it. It would be too easy to throw in some snark about the obvious (God didn't pop up to save these people), but there is a time and place for that and it isn't when people are really being hurt. I suspect there's something to the fact that this occurred at the megachurch formerly run by the disgraced Ted Haggard, that the guman had some real issues there. We'll see what an investigation into his background reveals. It doesn't appear anyone was killed (we're unsure whether the gunman himself is alive or dead), so that's good news.

Apparently earlier today two guys were killed at a missionary training center about 70 miles away. We'll see if it was the same shooter.


Latest update is that the gunman killed one person at the church before himself being taken out by a quick-thinking security guard.

  1. Crap. I thought I was hearing about the same story for a while, thinking that 4 people were shot and 2 of them died. It's two places? Bad mojo.
