He told the audience:

“While I was in my morning briefing, I got a report that some shoots took place over here in the chapel. So we were concerned, naturally, and we dispersed and everyone went into action. And we discovered that one of our very faithful, loving, kind servant… a gentleman, who serves our ministry on Wednesdays and Fridays and opens the door for my mother and for many of you, walked in on Wednesday this morning and – as his duties are on every Wednesday, making sure things are in place – but this Wednesday, as another very dear friend of ours, an employee of the church, a friend of the ministry, was doing corporate prayer and, while he was praying, he was shot several times and fell dead as he was leading corporate prayer.”

The minister added:

“I guess many people say ‘what was that?’ because we work so hard to try to be prepared for the evil that comes from the outside in, and we work so hard to be prepared for the challenges that come from the outside in. But sometimes you have to be careful because you can be clipped by something from the inside, from behind. That’s what happened today.”

The suspected gunman has been identified as Floyd Palmer and was apprehended hours after the 10 a.m. shooting in a room that was filled with about two dozen people.

Police told the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the victim, 39-year-old Greg McDowell, was a member of the megachurch’s production department and also worked with the maintenance department. Rev. Dollar says McDowell was:

“a man of faith, a man of God, a man who I have known for a long time,” and told those gathered Wednesday night that “now he is absent from the Body and present with the Lord.”
