3rd Alabama church shooting victim dies; elderly suspect ID'd
[NYPOST] An elderly woman shot during a gunman’s rampage at an Alabama church’s potluck dinner has died — bringing the corpse count of the bloodbath to three, police said Friday.Jane Pounds, 84, had been rushed to the hospital after the gunman shot her and two others during a "Boomers Potluck" at Stephen’s Episcopal Church in the suburbs of Birmingham on Thursday, cops said.

A "hero" attendee thwarted the 70-year-old gunman’s attack and helped save lives, Vestavia Hills Police Capt. Shane Ware said.

After refusing to join around 25 others at the dinner, the killer — identified by authorities Friday as Robert Findlay Smith — suddenly pulled out a handgun and opened fire, the church’s founding pastor told AL.com.

A church member, Jim Musgrove, then hit the shooter with a chair, pinning him to the floor and wrestling away his gun, the Rev. Doug Carpenter told the local outlet.

Ware said his heroism had been "extremely critical in saving lives."

#1 The killer's mind was squirming like a toad's.

#2 A white toad! Sez the article, "The gunman and all three victims were white."

A portrait in whiteness and tie-dye
Confirmed for me wondering mind's eye:
"Mad gunman not Brown,
Nor the ones he shot down!"
Golly, thanks, Lee! Black eye for the white guy?"

Couldn't care less whether Lee Brown is actually black Black, having always been equally irked by commie cover-up clique and kneejerk Coulter's Lawyers.
