Deputies say they found the bullet inside the church. According to the KCSO, while no one was injured, the pastor, his wife and their grandchild were inside an adjoining room cleaning at the time of the incident. Deputies say they were “extremely lucky” to have escaped what could have “otherwise been a tragedy.”

The KCSO says they are looking to question the driver of a white pickup truck that was in the area at the time and has a sticker on the left rear bumper that reads “I carry Naloxone.”
