CNN: Killer yelled "liars" before opening fire

The man charged with murdering three people, including the pastor, in a Micronesian congregation holding Sunday afternoon services at the First Congregational Church of Neosho yelled "Liars" before opening fire, according to a report posted on CNN;


Police said Eiken Elam Saimon shouted "liars, liars, you're all liars" before opening fire with a semiautomatic machine pistol commonly known as a Tech-9, Police Chief David McCracken said.

When police arrived, Saimon had surrounded himself with 30 to 40 hostages in the sanctuary and "he was holding a female hostage at gunpoint," the chief said.

Five people were wounded in the Sunday afternoon attack at the church in Neosho, about 120 miles northeast of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Saimon had been listed as a possible suspect in the assault of a 14-year-old girl that was reported Saturday evening, Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland said.

Those of us who are born again Christians must stay prayerful at all times because we never know who may be bound by the devil himself causing them to do such things like what happened in Neosho and other places. We must not be afraid of what the devil can do unto us. We are living in a world where times have changed drastically and that is because the end is much nearer then before. Let us keep the families who have lost their loved ones in this tragic in prayer, and maintain ourselves living upright before God because we don't know when our turn is coming where we will meet our Father in Heaven.
