5 Shot at First Baptist Church in Illinois

A gunman reportedly stepped on stage at First Baptist Church in Maryville, Ill. and opened fire, shooting five people, including the pastor, police said.

Parishioners charged the gunman, who was reportedly stabbed by one of them. The suspect is in police custody.

The church's pastor was shot three times, police said.

The pastor reportedly welcomed the man onto the stage before he started shooting. It was not clear if the two knew each other or if the gunman was a parishioner.

Six people, two in critical condition, were taken to a local hospital.

Police said parishioners were in prayer at 8:55 a.m. when the incident happened.

The church has an average attendance of more than 1,200 and was officially organized on March 4, 1945, according to their Web site.
