Mega church pastor beaten to death with electric guitar by man who rammed car into church
A North Texas congregation is reeling after an attacker rammed a car into a church wall, chased the pastor, and beat him to death with an electric guitar.
Police told reporters they didn’t know why the unidentified suspect attacked Rev. Danny Kirk Sr., founding pastor of the Greater Sweethome MIssionary Baptist Church.
In a harrowing 911 call an unidentified church secretary said that some staff tried to fight him off but that Kirk was in desperate need of an ambulance.

‘My pastor’s bleeding, he’s been attacked,’ the worker tells dispatchers while locked in her office.’I'm not going out there. I need real help fast. Send policeman. I do need an ambulance also.’

No mention of race of perp? Obviously he was black. MSM, sad.

I suspect this is going to get very interesting. The soap opera-esque possibilities are endless.
I think I will pop some pop-corn…

@Rando: Ah, I missed that. Perp must be English from south of Barnsley in county Yorkshire?

Assailant’s wife finally confessed that the good Rev was shoring up her entrance into Heaven. Count on it.

The cop looks like a zombie eating the woman on the ground while the guy in the background zombie-walks in for seconds.
He better hurry, that zombie eats well.

Looks like the Perp died in the back of a patrol car. Huh, wonder how that happened.

Tragic. That’s why my pastor carries concealed. They may get em, but he’s not going to Heaven before sending a few of them to hell….

I honestly thought that was Moose Obama on the ground being attacked by the racist cop.

Nobody is killed by acoustic guitars.
It’s those damned electric guitars …
Only the government should have access to electric guitars.

First, my condolences to the pastor’s family.
Second: call me crazed, but that pic reminds me of viral pic of Moochelle being dragged out of the White House kicking and screaming…..

I always knew ‘contemporary’ worship was bad for you. Now it kills you LITERALLY, AND spiritually!!!
