[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."
