Pastor, congregation hogtied Calif. gunman with extension cord during church shooting

[Becky1951]

The gunman who killed one and injured five others in a California church Sunday was tackled by a heroic retired pastor — then subdued by elderly parishioners, who hogtied his legs and wrangled away his two handguns, officials said.

They were brave considering everything.

Apparently a Chinese immigrant who doesn't like Taiwan which was the congregation in that church.

Giving the current tensions almost sounds targeted not necessarily a beef or lone wolf.

It always astounds me when a person decides to kill a few people in one group. It doesn’t change the demographics of those they hate. They achieve nothing except to prove that they’re the evil one.

@Becky1951 , when I read "tackled by a heroic retired pastor", I cried grateful tears. I get like that nowadays.
Thank you for that bit of good news amidst the tragedy.

Too bad he was only restrained, rather than dispatched.
After some time in a mental hospital, he will be released - even earlier due to his age.
Remember John Hinckley? He's free.
