I am a UT grad living in California and am always affected by anything that happens in the Knoxville community. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected. Strength and prayers to that congregation to keep up their welcoming, open, loving congregation even in the face of such a threat to that type of loving congregation. Never give up- the world can change and kindness will prevail. People in our country have forgotten that God is a loving God. They are confusing politics and religion and that is a dangerous place to go.

One of the victims in a deadly church shooting in Knoxville, Tenn. is being called a hero for putting himself in harm's way to save a child. Hari Sreenivasan reports.

it is hard to see how easy it is to shoot people. this is not fair.
