The US Pastor who carries a gun in the pulpit

Sunday

Available for over a year

In November 2017, a heavily-armed gunman walked into a small Baptist church in the town of Sutherland Springs in Texas while its Sunday service was taking place. In the next 11 minutes, he fired more than 700 rounds, killing 26 worshippers. It was the deadliest mass shooting targeting an American place of worship in modern history. The church's pastor, Frank Pomeroy, who lost his 14 year-old daughter in the attack, tells William Crawley why he carries a gun in the pulpit.
