Churchgoers thwarted a teenager armed with a rifle from entering a Louisiana church full of children Saturday in a service that was being livestreamed, authorities said.
Police were called to St. Mary Magdalen Church in Abbeville, 20 miles south of Lafayette, at 10:35 a.m. when the 16-year-old suspect tried to get in via the back door.
Around 60 children were inside the Catholic church at the time waiting to take their first Holy Communion, the church said.

Parents? I don’t feel safe living in the United States and I was born here. I used to live in this one shitty suburb that was at the time in the middle of a gang war. They mostly stayed away from us because we were four white guys living in a house but one of our neighbors got his glass back door shot out by a stray bullet by some gangbanger running from a Latin King. I never did find out how that gang war ended but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Kings took over the area.
