<p>Pastor Glenn Germany, who was the target of the attempted shooting, <a href="https://www.wtae.com/article/braddock-church-gun-pulled-on-pastor/60694951">said</a>: &#8220;I&#8217;m thankful to God that I&#8217;m still here, because he definitely pulled the trigger.&#8221;</p>
<p>He told local media that he had never seen the suspect before that day but noticed that he had been coming in and out of the building and made direct eye contact with him.</p>
<p>&#8220;I started to begin to preach and all of a sudden, from my left-hand side, I saw him move from the back to the front of the church, and he set up in the front corner of the church and smiled at me,&#8221; Germany said. &#8220;All of a sudden, I just saw a gun pointing right at me. And at that point, all I could try to do is run for cover.&#8221;</p>
<p>He praised the member of his congregation who ran in and tackled the suspect.</p>
<p>&#8220;He could have lost his life in that struggle,&#8221; Germany said. &#8220;But he sacrificed himself for everyone, and he&#8217;s the hero.&#8221;</p>
