Daily Caller "Nashville Police have identified the suspect of a mass shooting at a church Sunday morning as 25-year-old Emanuel Kidega Samson.
"Samson is being charged with murder and multiple counts of attempted murder in the attack that killed one and left at least seven other people injured at the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch, a town just south of Nashville, Tenn.
. . .
"Nashville Police Department spokesman said the shooter entered the church after 11 am CST wearing a neoprene ski mask. One woman was shot in the parking lot before the shooter entered the church and opened fire on about 42 people still inside.
"One church member, 22-year-old Caleb Engle, confronted the shooter before being pistol whipped in the face. Engle then went to his car to retrieve a gun, which he has under a concealed carry license.
"Engle returned the church to confront the gunman again. The gunman shot himself in the face when the man returned, possibly on accident.
“ 'He’s the hero here,” Nashville police chief Steve Anderson said. “He’s the person who stopped this madness in its tracks.' ”
