According to church members and the pastor, the sanctuary was where the man had sought to turn over a new leaf. It was where his children, all under the age of 10, had been baptized. And Sunday, it was where his life was cut short.
Around 11:15 a.m., two gunmen wearing bandanas ran toward the broad wooden doors of the church and opened fire in the direction of the usher and a 46-year-old man who was visiting the church, police and witnesses said. The men attempted to take cover behind a nearby retaining wall as the usher cried for his children to take cover inside the church.
The children made it to safety, said the Rev. Reginald Bachus. The usher was taken to Stroger Hospital and the 46-year-old was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital. Both were pronounced dead, police said. Their names have not yet been released.
“They were on their way up the steps to the church, and two gentlemen ran up from Jackson (Boulevard) and basically unloaded on them,” Bachus said....
But when the usher’s children burst through the doors, gunfire could be heard only feet away, prompting members, including many seniors and children, to drop to the floor as one of the usher’s children repeatedly cried, “I want my dad!” http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-two-men-slain-on-church-steps-when-gunmen-basically-unloaded-on-them-pastor-20170813-story.html
2 men going to church with their children are shot down as they entered a house of worship and there is no outrage.
Racist thugs from both the right and left battle in the streets and woman protester hanging with tbe leftist thugs dies and that draws national outrage.
Our country is so screwed up.
