During the incident, two individuals were injured. A five-year-old boy, who entered the church with the assailant, sustained critical injuries. Additionally, a man in his 50s was also injured in the shooting. The severity of his injuries has not been disclosed.
This tragic incident has shocked the community and left many questioning the safety and security of places of worship. As investigations continue, authorities are working diligently to piece together the events leading up to the attack and uncover any possible connections or motives.
