Authorities in Tennessee believe Sunday morning’s mass shooting inside a church that killed one and wounded seven would have been much deadlier if not for the bravery of an usher who brought the masked alleged gunman’s rampage to an end.
Metropolitan Nashville Police Department spokesman Don Aaron told Wkrn that 22-year-old church usher Robert Engle confronted the suspect not long after he allegedly began firing indiscriminately on congregants at the Church of Christ Burnette Chapel in Antioch.
Engle was pistol-whipped by the suspect, Emanuel Kidega Samson, 25, who actually shot himself during the struggle, the news station reports.
