In Pennsylvania, USA, Bernard Polite, 26, from Braddock, confronted Pastor Glenn Germany of Jesus’ Dwelling Place Church with a gun during his sermon.In an interview, Pastor Germany told CBS News: “I was like, this is not happening.” However, no shots were fired, leading the pastor to express gratitude: “I thank God because only God stopped and jammed this gun.”Deacon Clarence McCallister intervened by tackling Polite to the ground. Reflecting on his actions, McCallister told the news outlet: “There’s something that needs to be done and I jumped up and handled my business.” Pastor Germany hailed McCallister as a hero for his quick response.“This guy was just dealing with spirits” he said, “and he came in and wanted to shoot somebody,”.Polite also apologised to Germany: “He said you ducked a taco today…and I guess that’s slang for you ducked a bullet.”Pastor Germany forgave Polite but admitted the difficulty in processing the event, especially concerning his daughter who witnessed the incident: “The thing that hurts me the most and brings tears to my eyes because I couldn’t watch my daughter break down…that’s the part that’s hard for me to digest.”The incident has prompted Pastor Germany to emphasise the reality of mental illness to his parishioners.Also Read: Pastor Dominic Osei Celebrate 9th Wedding Anniversary
