#1 The crime is being investigated as an armed robbery according to the police and not a race-related crime. The guy had a small caliber handgun that failed after the third shot. The first two shots went into the ceiling and the third was shot into a parishioner near the front of the church. One report said the lighting was too dim to see the identity of assailant. However, the church FB site shows a small congregation church with good lighting. Maybe the parishioners know the assailant--might be someone's relative. Probably nothing to see here.

#2 the third was shot into a parishioner near the front of the church A latecomer, it seems.

"I will come to church on time, Ave Maria. I will come to church on time, Ave Maria. I will come to church on time, Ave Maria. I will come to church on time, Ave Maria..."

#3 From The State : After running from the church with an undisclosed amount of stolen money, the suspect got into an empty dark-colored Toyota Prius, possibly dark blue, according to the release. He drove south on Decker Boulevard toward Percival Road and the intersection with Interstate 77, police said.

Police described the suspect as tall, slim black man, who was last seen wearing a black striped shirt and had a bandanna covering part of his face and a beanie No kidding, it was there on the top of his head.

The suspect was armed with a small silver semi-automatic pistol, according to the release. The victim seems critical.

#4 I suspect if someone tried that at my church here in Texas, he'd of never made it to the door before the hail of return fire dropped him. Semi-rural Texas, doing crime is at your own risk:p

#6 Dron, IIUC urban slang currently uses the old headgear term beanie to refer to those ugly woolen caps (always black, or navy) that come down over the thug's ears.

An indispensable urban ghetto fashion accessory, even on the hottest days of summer.
