In a harrowing incident at Jesus' Dwelling Place Church in North Braddock, Pennsylvania, Pastor Glenn Germany narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a Sunday sermon at around 1 p.m. Bernard Junior Polite, 26, from Braddock, confronted the pastor with a handgun and attempted to shoot him in front of the congregation. The gun, however, malfunctioned and did not fire. A quick-thinking churchgoer tackled Polite, preventing further danger. The incident, which was captured on a livestream, took a grim turn as police investigating Polite's home discovered a dead body.
