A Pennsylvania pastor says he's grateful to God for his life after a man
attempted to shoot him during his Sunday sermon, but the gun jammed.

Pastor Glen Germany was preaching at Jesus' Dwelling Place Church in North
Braddock on Sunday when a man calmly walked up, pointed a gun at him, and tried
to pull the trigger.



A stunning video of the incident was captured on the church's livestream. It
shows the moment the pastor found himself staring down the barrel of the gun. 

"I was like, this is not happening," Pastor Germany told CBS News.

The man pulled the trigger, but the gun jammed and a quick-acting church deacon
tackled the shooter from behind.

"I'm thankful to God that I'm still here because he definitely pulled the
trigger," Pastor Germany told ABC News affiliate WTAE.

"He's a hero," the pastor said of the deacon who saved him. 

The gunman has been identified as 26-year-old Bernard Polite. He now faces
attempted murder charges. 

So far, there's no known motive for the attack.

Pastor Germany told WTAE that the gunman smiled at him before he attempted to
shoot him.

"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," Germany said.

"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," he said.

Germany says he has forgiven Polite but is still processing what has happened. 

"This guy was just dealing with spirits he said, and he came in and wanted to
shoot somebody," Germany said, adding Polite said there were voices in his mind.

The pastor says he never saw the gunman before yesterday.

Local authorities are saying they are investigating another shooting in
connection with the church incident after they found a body in Polite's home.
