Clarence McCallister, the priest who tackled an armed man in a North Braddock, Pennsylvania, religion Sunday, explained his actions by saying,” My Pastor’s life was in danger”.
McCallister, who was cited by FOX News as saying that he was using the camera the church used to document the speech when Pastor Glenn Germany was being shot, was expressing his thoughts on his intentions.
McCallister said,” I heard it visit, and I thought,’ Oh, my God, bless God that cannon jammed.'” McCallister next sprinted toward the shooter, identified as 26- yr- old Bernard Polite, tackling and subduing him.
