A miracle unfolded during a church service in Pennsylvania this past Sunday (May 5, 2024), the Daily Mail reports.
Pastor Glenn Germany was preaching at the Jesus’ Dwelling Place Church, in North Braddock, PA, when a young man allegedly stood up, walked down the aisle with a gun, pointed it directly at Germany, and pulled the trigger.
Everything was caught on camera as the service was being live-streamed.
Miraculously, the gun misfired. Clarence McCallister, one of the church’s deacons, immediately leaped out of his pew, and tackled the alleged shooter, Bernard Polite, before he could fire again.
Both Germany and McCallister were able to detain the young man who seemed to be struggling with mental health issues until the police arrived.
Pastor Germany added that Polite actually apologized for what happened and allegedly told the pastor ‘Look, spirits was in my mind. They got in my mind and they told me come in and shoot the pastor.’
Germany added that he has already forgiven the alleged shooter, but added that the most difficult part was watching his 14-year-old daughter, who was in the service, dealing with the situation.
According to reports, a dead body, allegedly killed by a gun, was later found in the Polite’s home.
This isn’t the first time, I’ve heard about a gun misfiring. The same thing happened a few years back at a McDonald’s because a mother was praying for her son who was trying to rob the restaurant.
