Easter Sunday morning in Altoona where the risen Jesus was welcomed with a KA-BAM.

Police say a gun went off at about 11 p.m. Saturday at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in Altoona, Blair County.

Police say a man had a gun in his pocket and it discharged when he stood up. The bullet grazed the man’s hand.

An Altoona newspaper reported the trigger caught on the man’s pants and the gun’s safety was not on.

A parishioner reacted quickly to the sound of gunfire in his church by returning fire with his camera.

“I noticed the gun was handed to another gentleman. He immediately concealed it in a white program, so I took pictures of the gun inside this program,” Wagler said.

Quick thinking!  The hole in the pew and the blood from the self-inflicted wound might have been interpreted as a stigmata.
