Church Woman Slays Mass Murderer

Published Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 in Culture & Society

A woman carrying a concealed weapon shot and killed the gunman believed to be responsible for the recent shootings at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, and at Youth With A Mission in suburban Denver.

According to Colorado Springs Police Sgt. Jeff Johnson, mass murderer Murray had over 1,000 rounds of ammunition. You don’t have to be a math major to realize that with 7,000 worshipers in church that day, had it not been for Jean Assam, many hundreds of people could have been slaughtered like sitting (unarmed) ducks.

Jean Assam, who was ending a three day fast, said, “I was praying to God that he direct me in what to do in life… God made me strong… God guided me and protected me… I give credit to God.”

New Life Church Senior Pastor Brady Boyd called Assam “a real hero.”

Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, is also applauding Assam. What’s your take? And what would you do if you were in her boots?
