Deveoping: At least 7 people injured by gunfire in church

WEST KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - At least seven people were injured Sunday morning, two seriously, when a man opened fire inside a church in West Knoxville Sunday morning, according to NBC affiliate WBIR-TV.

The shootings happened at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church on Kingston Pike. One witness said police had arrived and the suspected gunman was in custody, according to WBIR-TV. Church members told the television station they did not know the man or his connection, if any, with the church or its members.

Some guy apparently entered the church during a children’s presentation of “Annie” and opened fire with a shotgun. No kids are believed to have been hit.

There is little in the way of official news on this so far.
