A man made an attempt to shoot a pastor in a US church during service in Pennsylvania. He was held down by brave members of the church till the arrival of police officers after the gun jammed.

The gunman, Bernard Junior Polite, 26, was arrested and charged for homicide same day he fatally shot his cousin, Derek Polite.

A Pennsylvania man who tried to shoot a pastor during a sermon that was being livestreamed earlier this week has been additionally charged with homicide, accused of fatally shooting his cousin the same day.

Bernard Junior Polite, 26, of Braddock, was arrested Sunday afternoon after he pointed a gun at Pastor Glenn Germany at Jesus Dwelling Place Church in the 400 block of Lobinger Avenue in Allegheny County, about 10 miles east of downtown Pittsburgh, just after 1 p.m.

The terrifying confrontation was captured on the church's livestream, but the gun appeared to have jammed and “failed to discharge,” Pennsylvania State Police said.

Polite was pinned down and disarmed by the church’s deacon and the pastor until police arrived and arrested him.

After family members saw reports of that church incident, they went to his residence in the 500 block of Stokes Avenue where he lived with his cousin Derek Polite, 56, “to check on his well-being” and found the elder Polite deceased.

The Allegheny County Police Department was called at 8:15 p.m. to the home. Derek Polite had been shot once, Police Superintendent Christopher Kearns said in a news conference Tuesday.

Police believe Polite shot his cousin, then went to the church with that same gun.

Authorities learned through witness interviews that Polite was seen pacing outside the residence Sunday morning and a neighbor later reported hearing “a noise which could have been a gunshot at approximately 10 a.m.,” police said in a release.

In the church attempted shooting, a firearm was recovered by Pennsylvania State Police — that matched the projectile recovered from Derek Polite.

Polite has been further charged with one count of criminal homicide, police said Tuesday.

It’s not clear what motivated the shooting of Derek Polite or the attempted church shooting, Kearns said.

He said that there was no indication of an altercation in the home they shared, and it appeared that the victim was shot as he was walking up the steps from the first floor to the second floor.

He also noted that Polite did not appear to have a relationship with Jesus Dwelling Place Church, and it’s not clear why the gun jammed when he pointed it at the pastor.

He said he believed that Polite was the owner of the firearm recovered from the scene at the church.

Polite is currently being held in Allegheny County Jail pending preliminary arraignment. It's not immediately clear if he has retained a lawyer.

A relative of Polite and Derek Polite, who did not wish to be identified by name, told NBC News on Monday that the shooting has left their family “in total shock.”

The relative said that Polite had moved in with Derek Polite several years ago and has a history of mental illness but that there have been no alarming incidents since he has been in the Pittsburgh area. Allegheny County police also told NBC News on Monday that no one has reported concerns about Polite in recent weeks to the police department.

I know many of us do not know the full meaning of 'Police' despite the fact that we commonly use the word to refer to law enforcement officers. The word 'POLICE' is an acronym for Public Officer for Legal Investigations and Criminal Emergencies
Now you know the meaning.

muyico:
how much were dey paying d security guard first? I wanna knw?

Bro, a crime is a crime. No matter how much he is receiving as security guard.

Gbagi that year.

These men were caught by local vigilante in Oba, Anambra State with stolen property. They were interrogated and in the course of the interrogation, they revealed that a security guard who was paid to secure the area caught them but demanded that they give him N5,000. When they couldn't come up with the money, he decided to collect the phone of the leader of the gang till he would be able to get the money.

An 81-year-old Ohio man has been charged in the fatal shooting of an Uber driver he believed was working with a scammer, according to officials who said the victim was sent to the home by the same scammer.

William Brock told investigators he shot Loletha Hall, 61, outside his home March 25 because he thought she was working with a man who called him pretending to be an officer at the local court, Lt. Kristopher Shultz of the Clark County Sheriff's Office said.

"Mr. Brock received some scam call by a person purporting to be someone from our courts who informed him a family member was incarcerated and that he had a bond of a significant amount of money," Shultz said. "The calls turned from 'I'm an officer in the court' to 'We have this subject hostage, this is a ransom demand.'"

The person who called Brock, or an accomplice, requested an Uber ride to his South Charleston home to pick up the money, Shultz said.

"Ms. Hall did not have any idea," he added.

When Hall arrived at the home and approached the front door, Brock confronted her with a gun and asked her who she was working for, Shultz said. He took her cellphone and prevented her from getting in her vehicle and driving away.

“When she tried to get away, he shot her once, then there was more exchange between them," Shultz said. "Mr. Brock was at some point injured to his head, and he shot Ms. Hall a second time. There was more conversation, and then he shot her a third time. Only after he shot her a third time did he then make contact with authorities to report the incident."

Hall did not threaten Brock, have a weapon or assault him, according to the sheriff's office and a complaint filed in Clark County Municipal Court. She was taken to a hospital where she died from her injuries, according to the complaint.

In a statement, Uber said the company had spoken with Hall's family.

"This is a horrific tragedy and our hearts continue to be with Loletha’s loved ones as they grieve," an Uber spokesperson said. "We have been in contact with law enforcement and remain committed to supporting their investigation."

The Uber spokesperson said the account of the person who ordered a car to Brock's house has been banned. Officials have not identified the person who requested the Uber and have not said whether they have made any additional arrests in connection with the case.

In a grand jury presentation Monday, Brock was indicted on three counts of murder, one count of felonious assault and one count of kidnapping, Shultz said. He will be arraigned on those charges later this week.

It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney.

Brock was originally arraigned on a murder charge in the Municipal Court of Clark County on Wednesday and posted a $200,000 bond. If convicted of that charge, he could be sentenced to 15 years to life in prison or a $15,000 fine.

1. YOUR SALARY IS NOT PART OF YOUR EMPLOYER'S PROFIT : The money your employer pays you monthly as salary is not part of his profit; it is part of his or her cost of running the business. Since you do not share in his or her profits, you should not also share in their losses. There is an agreement between you and your employer that you are going to carry out specific duties which you will be paid for. Anything that makes your employer to pay you half salary in a month or withhold your salary due to so-called absence of funds should not be acceptable. If an employer cannot pay workers, he or she should close down the business or sell it off.

2. IF YOU SEE YOURSELF IN AN ORGANIZATION THAT DOESN'T ISSUE EMPLOYMENT LETTERS: Whenever you find yourself working in an organization that does not issue employment letters to workers, just know that you are not working but just 'hustling'. Such type of employees do not deserve resignation letter when you want to leave. Just leave when you want to leave; don't dignify them by giving them a resignation letter. If you are not worthy to be issued an employment letter, they are not also worthy to receive a resignation letter from you. Do not dignify them with one. There is no binding labour law backed by the constitution between both of you.

3. DO NOT WORK BEYOND YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION : Humans are very selfish oftentimes. When you go out of your way to carry out other duties that are not included in your job description, they automatically become part of your job description. Everybody likes mumu, but the day mumu becomes wise, mumu will become a bad person. That's how how some private school owners use their teachers to do odd jobs such as clearing grasses, cooking and doing domestic chores. I have a friend who used to work in a private school. Within 3 months of employment, his boss converted him to a driver and personal assistant while still working as a teacher on top 30k salary.

4. IF YOU SPEND YOUR YOUTHFUL DAYS...: If you spend your youthful days working for people, you may end up a poor sad fellow in old age. As you dey work, make you dey invest too.

The economy is really biting hard on Nigerians. People easily get irritated these days. Watch the moment two women fight at Fidelity Bank ATM in Enugu.

The woman on yellow top was on the queue but decided to enter the banking hall to resolve an issue. When she came out, she was not allowed to join the queue as she was told by the other woman to go and start afresh. She didn't take it lightly and they started fighting. The security personnel was rough handled in the process.

I went to the market to buy Akpu two days ago because I was very hungry for swallow food but the size of 100 Naira Akpu (fufu) has been giving me sleepless nights. This used to be my favourite swallow. I kept turning on the bed restlessly last night each time I remembered the size of Akpu that goes for 100 Naira now.

Abeg, wetin dey happen for Naija? Abi na to migrate to Gambia or Gabon? I don't really know what this country is turning into.

na so the size of 100 Naira Akpu be for una area?

I remember eating in this same restaurant in 2018. Then, the food was just NGN350. Today, I visited same restaurant and same food I used to eat now cost NGN1000. One small fufu wey nor even reach small pikin fist and meat wey nor even reach small agbalumo. Only 4 hands of swallow I took and the whole fufu was gone. Na vex I take comot from the restaurant.

How do low income earners in Nigeria survive? It is really terrible out there. Many Nigerians now spend their monthly income on food!

For some days now, the Nigerian online space has been filled with news concerning the alleged atrocities of late Temitope Joshua aka Prophet TB Joshua. It is pertinent to note that I have observed, times without number, the manner in which many Nigerians pass judgements. We usually react to issues and pass judgements on events based on sentiments and all manner of emotional attachments.

Within these few days, I have seen people make videos and post online where they vehemently and authoritatively defend the late pastor that he was never involved in the acts that the accusers have alleged he was involved in. I have seen these people defend the late pastor with so much confidence that makes me wonder if we as humans are being rational and realistic when we vouch for people that we don't even know their true nature deep inside, apart from what we see outside of them. Don't get it twisted here. I'm not saying the events that played on BBC have been found to be true. What I'm saying is that you cannot defend something you don't know or fully understand. We as humans can only vouch for ourselves and not for others because what you think it is might not be what it is.

People who were close to the late prophet have come out to say these were the things the man did. You sitiing in your house that is hundreds of kilometers away from the Synagogue could not have known the man better than them. Why defend what you don't know? If a sibling of yours was involved in the alleged atrocities, I am very sure that by now, you would have thrown away that ill-fitting religious garment you have used to blindfold yourself.

Most times, an injustice only becomes a crime to many Nigerians when it affects them either directly or indirectly.

We should be pushing for further investigation into the matter to ascertain whether the late prophet is falsely being accused or if the alleged atrocities were actually committed. Whichever way the pendulum swings to, both parties (TB Joshua's family/Synagogue and the accusers) can seek redress and compensation at the court of law.

If the events that played on BBC had been about a late Bhuddist leader, an African herbalist or a leader from any other group, I bet you, many of these folks would have been screaming and calling on the government to destroy their place of worship.

Religion is meant to make us create and mantain a relationship with the Creator. It should not make us to become stupid and shallow.
