Armed teen wearing all black enters Catholic church with a riffle allegedly to massacre families during First Holy Communion ceremony before he’s taken down by parishioners (video)
A teenager armed with a rifle attempted to enter a Louisiana church full of children during a First Holy Communion Mass in Louisiana, US.
The Mass on Saturday, May 11, was being livestreamed when the incident happened, authorities said.
Police were called to St. Mary Magdalen Church in Abbeville, 20 miles south of Lafayette, at 10:35 a.m. when the 16-year-old suspect tried to get in via the back door.
Around 60 children were inside the Catholic church at the time waiting to take their first Holy Communion, the church said.
The church said in a statement that parishioners confronted the suspect and took him outside before calling the police.
A recording of the livestream, broadcast by multiple local news stations, showed a man approach the Rev. Nicholas DuPré after 48 minutes to whisper something. DuPré then stops the service and asks churchgoers to join him in prayer, as people audibly panic and some begin to scream.
Police officers can then be seen walking through the church, as boys run across the altar and the clergy take shelter.
