‘I was like, this is not happening’
By Joe Kovacs
Alleged gunman Bernard Polite aims a gun at Pastor Glenn Germany in a North Braddock, Pennsylvania, church on Sunday, May 5, 2024.
Was it a miracle from God?
Stunning video out of North Braddock, Pennsylvania, on Sunday shows the moment a gunman aimed his weapon at a Christian pastor, but was unable to fire.
The trigger was pulled, but the handgun jammed and no shot was fired.
“I was like, this is not happening,” Pastor Glenn Germany of Jesus’ Dwelling Place Church told KDKA.
“I’m thankful to God that I’m still here, because he definitely pulled the trigger,” Germany told WTAE.
The pastor immediately ducked behind his podium, and that’s when Clarence McCallister, a deacon at the church, jumped up to tackle the gunman.
“There’s something that needs to be done and I jumped up and handled my business,” McCallister told KDKA.
“He could have lost his life in that struggle,” Germany said of McCallister. “But he sacrificed himself for everyone, and he’s the hero.”
