Parishioners tackle gunman in church
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Parishioners tackled a gunman suspected of snatching purses from church pews during Mass, the pastor and police said.
One man suffered lacerations to his head and face during the struggle at Christ the King Catholic Church on Sunday morning, police said.
Wendell K. Hollingsworth, 43, Celeste M. Smith, 51, were arrested and each charged with aggravated robbery at the church, police said. They were being held in the Franklin County jail Monday, awaiting bond.
The pair walked into the service and grabbed purses as Hollingsworth displayed a handgun and said, "This is a robbery," police said.
Hollingsworth was tackled as parishioners called police on cell phones. Smith was arrested outside the church, police said.
"Our parishioners are not about to let anyone defile their church," said the Rev. Michael Lumpe.

See!! Now why do we need the police? The Police were no where to be found when gunman try tio rob the Church.Wanna know why police didnt charge a bunch of people with vigilantism? Cause its in columbus ohio.And Columbus dont have anti Gun laws like they do in vermont,Masseschutes or even in New York City.If you commit vigilantism in vermont,Masseschutes or in New York City the police will charge the suspect with armed robbery but he will also turn right around and arrest you with illegal possesion of a firearm.Just like that girl who was almost raped in a parking garage in new york she used pepper spray and she dialed 911 on her cell phone called the police.The Police arrested the suspect but he turns right around and confidscated girls pepper spray and cited her $74 and told her Pepper Sprays are illegal in New York City.Police Officers should be protecting people not issue them citations for defending themselves.Thats why states like Texas and Florida have "Make my day Laws" The laws are simple. Ordinary People in Florida can carry guns and when someone trespasses on their property the person has the right to shoot them without question and theres not a damn thing cops can do about it.Read Floridas make my day laws here.
