Investigators said they were able to stop the potential massacre at Park Valley Church in Haymarket thanks to someone who saw troubling posts on Instagram and called police
Authorities arrested a man who they say was minutes away from carrying out a mass shooting at a church in Northern Virginia on Sunday morning.
Rui Jiang, 35, was taken into custody with a loaded gun and extra ammo at Park Valley Church in Haymarket. Authorities said he was on a mission to kill.
“This was a thwarted diabolical plot to kill churchgoers in Haymarket, Virginia … and local law enforcement stopped it,” Chief Kevin Davis of the Fairfax County Police Department said.
“Minutes. Minutes. The congregation was making their way into the church. He was in the vestibule of the church about to enter,” Davis said. “So, minutes or seconds away.”
I grew up in a religious household and the more it was explained to me the less sense it made.

I’m glad you’re done and got that out of your system.
Have a nice day.

Really?
I was sure that I was in a debate class right now.
Didn’t you say you were done or are you just trying to pick a fight?

So why are you choosing me to unload your issues?
You’re replying to a pretty anti-religion thread yet I’m the only one you’re unloading on?

You chose to jump into my conversation and are choosing to continue to engage after saying you’re done.
Now you’re acting like you’re some martyr because of it and I’m responding because it’s hilarious.
