Pria mengancam membunuh anak-anak di gereja Kentucky

Seorang pria berusia 56 tahun memasuki sebuah gereja di London, Kentucky, pada sore hari Minggu dan menyatakan niatnya untuk membunuh orang, khususnya menargetkan anak-anak. Anggota jemaat mengevakuasi anak-anak dan menghubungi pihak berwenang, yang menangkap tersangka dengan beberapa dakwaan. Insiden itu terjadi di Gereja Pentecostal Campground di tengah laporan bahwa pria tersebut mabuk.

Pada hari Minggu, 8 Maret, sekitar pukul 1:10 sore, James D. Bell, 56, mendekati Gereja Pentecostal Campground di luar Barbourville Road, tepat di selatan London, Kentucky, menurut Sheriff Kabupaten Laurel John Root. Gereja tersebut melayani komunitas sekitar 8.000 penduduk, yang terletak kira-kira 75 mil di selatan Lexington. \n\nBell memasuki gereja dan menyatakan, "Saya di sini untuk membunuh" dan "Saya akan membunuh anak-anak," pernyataan yang didengar oleh beberapa anggota. Sebagai tanggapan, setidaknya satu orang menghubungi 911, dan anak-anak segera dievakuasi dari ruang kudus utama. Saat deputies tiba, mereka menemukan jemaat sedang berusaha meredakan situasi. \n\nPendeta gereja menyampaikan versi berbeda kepada pihak berwenang. Ia tidak mendengar ancaman itu tetapi mencatat Bell meminta bantuan dan mengklaim dirinya dirasuki setan. Anggota jemaat sedang berdoa untuk Bell saat deputies tiba. \n\nPetugas mencium bau alkohol dari Bell dan mencatat bicaranya yang cadel, sehingga menyimpulkan ia sedang dalam pengaruh alkohol. Tidak ada senjata yang ditemukan padanya. Bell menghadapi dakwaan ancaman teroristik derajat dua, perilaku tidak teratur derajat dua, dan mabuk alkohol di tempat umum. Ia dibooking ke Pusat Koreksi Kabupaten Laurel. \n\nBell diadili pada Senin dan dijadwalkan mengikuti sidang pendahuluan pada 17 Maret, menurut media lokal.
