(CBS NEWS) A church service in North Braddock, Pennsylvania, was upended Sunday when a man pulled a gun on the pastor in the middle of his sermon. The incident was caught on video.
Pennsylvania State Police have charged 26-year-old Bernard Polite of Braddock, saying he entered and attempted to shoot Pastor Glenn Germany while the pastor was delivering a sermon at Jesus' Dwelling Place Church on Sunday just after 1 p.m.
Video taken by the church's deacon and posted online by Pastor Glenn Germany shows the moment the pastor suddenly found himself staring down the barrel of a gun.
"I was like, this is not happening," Pastor Germany said.
Yet somehow, it was, but no shot was fired. The gun failed to discharge, police said.
"I thank God because only God stopped and jammed this gun," Germany said.
