The guns apparently used in the shootings -- a 9 mm semiautomatic pistol and a .38-caliber revolver -- were found in the house, along with a shotgun, rifle and ammunition, Moore said.

Grady Pior, who lives across from Cranshaw and next door to the church, said he and his wife had called police a couple of times about Cranshaw's disruptive behavior. He said Cranshaw would shout obscenities at them and fire a gun, but authorities never arrested him because he stayed within the bounds of his property.

Pior said he learned from church members that Cranshaw had left rambling, nonsensical notes on their cars and cursed and yelled at them as they left services. Pior said he had started carrying a gun when he mowed his yard in case of a confrontation with Cranshaw.


I think its medias' "status quo" to go out of the way to describe and tabulate ALL the guns a person, like this, happens to have in their posession in their homes or vehicles or whatever...Safes...etc etc...

That way somehow, the message gets conveyed in a tangible sense that anyone who owns an "armory" or "cache" of guns like this (or more for that matter) are mentally unstable and will act as this person did...

You beat me to the punch...

I saw this and was having a conversation with a Catholic parishioner that works here in my office about this incident...

It was a good exchange of ideas and position on the issue...

I remember a recent thread here where we brought up and discussed the Fort Worth church shooting incident again...
