Gun man shoots up a Detroit church

Yesterday, Kevin L. Collins walked into a church and opened fire.

Collins walked into the Zion Hope Baptist Church looking for his girlfriend. He didn't see her, but did see her mother, and demanded the mother to tell him where the girlfriend was. She refused. He left, then returned and shot her... in church. In front of 300 worshippers. The shooting also injured the girl, a god-daughter, sitting next to the victim.

Later, he tried to carjack a lady and shot her husband, who was trying to defend her.

Police were tipped to his whereabouts, and Collins shot himself as police closed in.

The article doesn't include a lot of outraged quotes from parishoners. What is the deal? You can't get on to "business as usual" after some thug murders a fellow church member - during church.

This also reiterates how dangerous "gun-free" zones can be when the only person armed is some thug intent on killing.
