Guns make it so easy: Lorain pastor, wife shot, allegedly by son


To avoid absolutely every single other conceivable way of resolving problems and disputes. That’s one of the reasons I hate guns.

You can read about the Lorain pastor and his wife who were both shot (she died), allegedly by their 16 year old son, last night in their home while setting about to watch the Indians game, here at TMCNews.net.

Who were the Petrics? From TMCNews:

Mark and Sue Petric have been pastors of New Life Assembly of God for over 2 years now. Prior to coming to Wellington they were youth and associate pastors at Eastgate Assembly of God and foster parents of the Bair Foundation while in Columbus, Ohio. The Petric’s also worked with troubled teenagers as house parents and assistant directors of the Choice Place Boys Home in Ashland.

And from The Plain Dealer:

Relatives, who came to the home to watch the Indians game, found their bodies. Evans said three people – the couple and their son – were in the home at the time of the shooting.

The couple were pastors at New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, according to the church’s Web site. They had been at the small, close-knit congregation on West Street for two years and had moved into their home in April, the Web site said.

No one answered a call to the church late Saturday night.

A neighbor declined to comment, saying the family deserved privacy. Other neighbors said the rural setting prevented many people from getting to know the family.

Why? According to TMCNews:

A New Life Assembly church member told TMC NEWS that the couple’s daughter and son-in-law arrived to the Petric home Saturday night to watch the Indians game and found the couple shot. She also said that the son had been upset with his father after he was told that he couldn’t play his video games.

Thoughts with family and loved ones.
