(CNN)A Bible lay on the ground Sunday near where a worshiper was earlier shot dead outside her Tennessee church, allegedly by a former member of the same congregation.
The shooting took place the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch, a neighborhood in Davidson County governed by Nashville. A gunman in the church parking lot shot and killed Melanie Smith, 39, as she was walking to her car when a prayer service was letting out. The shooter then entered the church through the sanctuary's main door with two pistols and "began indiscriminately shooting," Metropolitan Nashville Police Department spokesman Don Aaron said. There were approximately 50 people still inside the sanctuary when the shooting began. Six were wounded by gunfire and another was pistol-whipped, Aaron said.
I can't believe this happened over a month ago, yet I just heard about it today. Why was wasn't this bigger news? The dylan roof incident was everywhere.
