Man Accidentally Shoots Self And Wife During Church Gun-Violence Chat

On Friday, an 81-year-old Tennessee man, who said he carried a gun everywhere, accidentally shot himself and his wife during a conversation in church about gun violence at houses of worship. The shooting on Thursday at the First United Methodist Church in Tellico Plains took place as church elders discussed a local sheriff’s “weapons and worship” seminar, following the massacre of 26 people at a rural Texas church earlier this month.
