Gun goes off in Altoona church during Easter Vigil mass

Sigh.

ALTOONA, Pa. —Police say a gun went off at about 11 p.m. Saturday at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona, Blair County.

Police say a man had a gun in his pocket and it discharged when he stood up. The bullet grazed the man's hand.

An Altoona newspaper reported the trigger caught on the man's pants and the gun's safety was not on.

"I noticed the gun was handed to another gentleman. He immediately concealed it in a white program, so I took pictures of the gun inside this program," Wagler said.

Because carrying a loaded firearm into church is just what Jesus would do.

There is either something seriously wrong with the church or seriously wrong with him.
