The attacker is seated in a back row of the church. He's wiping his palms nervously on his jeans. His body is rigid on one side from the effort to conceal a nine-millimeter handgun. He's sweating, fixated on the preacher. All are telltale signs of trouble, but the room is filled with distractions: people coughing, cell phones buzzing, parishioners arriving late. Amid the bustle, the attacker pulls his gun, strides nearly 15 yards to the pulpit, aims dead at the preacher, and pulls the trigger. "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" he screams before the God Squad reacts--four undercover agents. It's supposed to be their job to spot the bad guy and send him off to meet his Maker. Finally, someone yells, "Gun!" One man grabs the weapon while another bear hugs the attacker from behind; the rest dog pile, wrestling him to the ground.
It's a scene startlingly similar to the shooting on Feb.
