Mr. Samson pulled up to the church in a blue sport utility vehicle that he left running. About 50 people were in the church at the time of the shooting, which was reported at 11:15 a.m. as services were ending, Mr. Aaron said. All were in stable condition except for Mr. Spann, who was in critical condition. A man who lives near the church said people had come to his home looking for help, so he headed over. “Their lives have been forever changed, as has the life of their faith community at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ.”
