From All Headline News:
BALTIMORE -- A gunman burst into Maryland church service Sunday night and robbed several worshipers.

Police said the man wearing dark clothing and a ski mask was waving a handgun when he barged into the Mt. Zion United Methodist Church in the Baltimore suburb of Bel Air. About 50 people were attending the service
This scenario keeps playing itself out time and time again, but thankfully nobody was killed or injured this time.

In the past we covered the epidemic of places of workship becoming criminal protection zones. In Ohio, HB12 deems every place of worship a "no guns" environment unless local leadership says otherwise. Such a policy is ripe for a potential violent attack.
