"A preacher shot an 18-year-old man at a church fireworks stand early Sunday morning. The Wagoner Church of Christ had a fireworks stand in Muskogee to raise money for the youth group. The youth pastor and a 17-year-old boy from the church were spending the night in the tent to make sure nothing would be stolen. The News On 6’s Emory Bryan reports the pastor says he would shoot again if confronted with the same situation.
At 3 a.m. Sunday morning, Youth Pastor John Donnelly had a decision to make.
"I pulled my weapon and did what I needed to do," he said.
Muskogee Police say the shooting appears to be a clear case of self defense, and they're still looking for some of the suspects.
"We have six in custody and three more who we are looking for at this time," said Muskogee Police Officer Brad Holt.
All of the suspects are 17 and under, other than the one who was shot.
The teenager assaulted in the tent is recovering too, he had a couple of teeth knocked loose in the fight."
Nine (9) of them. Knocked the teeth out of the kid helping the Pastor. This is why the good Lord invented machine guns.
