Local pastors as well as others from the state attended and spoke to the crowd to help ease their suffering and provide prayers to the families who were affected by the shooting. “I want to tell you man, that we feel a lot of pain.” a local pastor told Rebel News. He later continued by stating that “Human pain can only be healed by God. God gave us two weapons to fight these enemies. He gave us love and forgiveness.”
