MASS SHOOTERS

- “Times are changing,” Russell told Spectrum. “It’s not the congregation, per se, but the leadership. People say, ‘Well, pastor, you’re talking about killing some,’ and I say, ‘Well, if I don’t protect my people, I’m being complicit.’ A shooting here, that’s not going to happen.”
The church’s website also features a scrolling message stating, “We are not a ‘Gun free zone’ – we protect our people!” alerting visitors that members of the congregation may be armed.
