Ms Workman watched the gunman's feet as he moved methodically through the pews, firing a semi-automatic rifle.Her older son was shot in the back at close range, permanently paralysing him, while the other escaped by climbing over bodies and crawling under pews to safety.

She saw the 2017 massacre at First Baptist Church unfold from across the street."Now doors are locked."She said she broke down when she saw the news about Robb Elementary School and now she wants automatic weapons — which were used in both attacks — banned.
carringtonAU It’s one issue to defend yourself, but you don’t need a AR-15 assault rifle to hunt deer. The US should take a feather out of our gun laws here in Australia. Sadly our tough gun laws in Australia over time gave been watered down to nothing again.🖖🖖😎
carringtonAU Wonder if a certain media organisation has a lot to do with that group think.
carringtonAU Deluded Dickheads🙄💔
carringtonAU Not until the Communist/Authoritarian Boot is on your neck will you understand the need to be able to defend yourself. None of you seem to comprehend that criminals don't follow laws.
