A tragedy struck the town of North Braddock, Pennsylvania when a young man named Bernard Junior Polite allegedly killed his own cousin, Derek Polite, just hours before attempting to shoot a pastor during a church service. The shocking incident unfolded on Sunday at Jesus' Dwelling Place Church, where Bernard interrupted the sermon and aimed a gun at Pastor Glenn Germany. However, thanks to the quick actions of the church's deacon, Clarence McCallister, the situation was brought under control and Bernard was apprehended by the police.
The police, who had arrested Bernard on Sunday, made a disturbing discovery that same night when they found Derek's lifeless body at Bernard's home. It was later confirmed that Derek was indeed Bernard's cousin, making the incident even more heartbreaking for their family. According to Allegheny Police Superintendent Christopher Kearns, it is believed that Derek was fatally shot earlier that morning, around 10 am, before the incident at the church took place.
The news of Derek's death spread like wildfire and his family, upon seeing the terrifying video of the church attack, immediately went to Bernard's and Derek's shared home to check on him. It was then that they found out about Derek's tragic fate. The police have since revealed that the same gun was used to kill Derek and attempt to shoot Pastor Germany, leaving the town in shock and disbelief.
The CCTV footage from the church shows Bernard walking up to Pastor Germany and pointing the gun at him, causing chaos and panic among the congregation. However, the deacon, Clarence McCallister, acted swiftly and bravely, managing to restrain Bernard and take the gun away from him. Pastor Germany expressed his gratitude for McCallister's heroic actions, stating that he could have lost his life in the struggle.
As for Bernard's motives behind these heinous crimes, they still remain a mystery. Pastor Germany, who had a conversation with Bernard after the incident, recalls him saying that it was just a thought in his mind that made him do it. Bernard also mentioned that he believed God had told him to carry out these horrific acts, leaving everyone wondering about his mental state.
Bernard has now been charged with homicide in his cousin's death, as well as other charges related to the church attack. The town of North Braddock is in shock and mourning over the loss of Derek and praying for Pastor Germany's safety. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of addressing mental health issues.
