I try not to read stories about random shootings. But I was browsing around CNN yesterday and I caught this headline:
Security guard who stopped shooter credits God
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (CNN) -- "It seemed like it was me, the gunman, and God," said Jeanne Assam, describing her feelings as she confronted a man who charged into her Colorado Springs church Sunday firing a weapon.
...
"I give the credit to God. And I say that very humbly. God was with me and the whole time I was behind cover -- this has got to be God, because of the firepower that [the gunman] had vs. what I had," Assam said.
"I did not run away and I didn't think for a minute to run away, I just knew that I was given the assignment to end this before it got too much worse. I just prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide me."

O_o
Now.. I'm glad she stopped this asshole from hurting more people, and I'm not trying to piss off any gun nuts... but last I checked, God says "Do not kill." No exceptions, no qualifications, it's pretty straightforward: No killing. Are you sure He would want to take the credit for dishing up a hot lead sandwich? Especially in His house?
