Reverend Glenn Germany, pastor of Jesus’ Dwelling Place Church in North Braddock, Pennsylvania, was giving a sermon when a man tried to shoot him. Bernard J. Polite, 26, of Braddock tried to shoot the pastor during service because "God told him to do it" was thwarted when his gun didn't fire and he was tackled by a congregant, authorities said. The chaos took place Sunday while the service was being livestreamed, state police said in a news release. The pastor told the media that Polite smiled at him and they made eye contact just before Polite pointed the gun at him. Germany then ducked out of the way as a male congregant tackled Polite. Germany and another congregant subdued and held Polite until state troopers arrived.
