The unnamed man, who appears to be a pastor from another church down the road from First Baptist, said that his church received a call around 11:00 or 11:15 a.m. that there was an active shooter at the nearby house of worship.

He said that people from his church immediately jumped into action, including a nurse, a deputy and others — and that those on site turned to prayer.
“We just did what we do. We prayed,” he said. “The Bible tells us that we overcome evil with good and … evil can only be overcome with good. So, we come together to do that immediately.”
He concluded, “God’s still in control.”
