It started out as an average Sunday evening at Tri-County Baptist Church on Sunday (Nov. 3). Seventeen preschool and elementary-aged kids in the church’s “Sunday Night BLAST” program were busy in their classes. But then everything changed quickly. At about 6:40 p.m., pastor Travis Johnson was in the sanctuary when he heard a huge noise in the foyer.
“I heard a crash and thought, “What fell over?” When I walked into the foyer, I realized it wasn’t something that had fallen. It was a whole car,” pastor Travis Johnson said. A man drove a black Corvette into the glass front church doors, which buckled inward.
“Thankfully, there were no kids in the foyer. They were in their classrooms. A few people were in the foyer and quickly moved out.”
The driver would later reportedly be taken into custody.
