    There are about nine different things wrong with that story.

    The fact that some crazy gunman started shooting up a church
    The fact that he was taken down by somebody in the church with a gun
    The fact that she was part of church security
    The fact that the church obviously needed security
    The fact that some people were killed for no real reason
    The fact that she praised the Lord for giving her the strength to do her job

    But the biggest one is the fact that one poor bastard got shot in the groin and survived

    Meh, she was just lucky. Her faith is admirable but it wasn't a good idea to take a risk like that.

    Exactly what point of assault rifle, 2 handguns, 1000 rounds of ammo and 100 people part of that was stupid. That much ammo with those arms meant he did not want anybody out of there alive. If any of the people on the 9/11 flights had done the same America would not be slaughtering Arabs right now.

    She was saying that she was at the end of a 3 day fast, she was probably starting to hallucinate at this stage. Hence the crazy actions she took to take down the gunner..

    she any relation to Jerry Yang?

    I was wondering something similar. God's was probably too busy helping our Jerry out to save the two teens and their dad.

    Mysterious ways ftw. ;)

    What's the big deal? She was the armed security at the church, she was put there specifically to deal with this kind of thing and she did her job. Fair play an all that.
    It seemed like it was me, the gunman and God
    and of course my 12 gauge shotgun. Happy times.

    Am I missing something? I didn't read the article in great detail, but basically she took down a gunman that proved he had no problem killing and most likely would have killed more people but for her. The women probably saved a lot of lives, how can anybody call her an idiot?

    Amazing how the amount of lives this woman saved has become an insignificant factor with so many on this thread:(

    IMO she can thank whoever the F she wants, God, Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, Batman..... bottom line is she had the courage/skill/composure to execute her duty under pressure and deserves all the praise that comes her way. Americans can be nauseating at the best of times, i have a feeling even if she didnt bring God into it the article she would still manage to irritate most of us!!!! Fair play to her.

    She let the guy in to begin with. Just saying that god should have bought her a metal detector.

    If god really wanted to help, a well placed bolt of lightning just before he opened fire would have been much more newsworthy.

    Ah, I missed the "one" in your post. Thought you were saying that the gunman was shot in the groin.
