Fortunately, no shots were fired, nothing escalated, and the 20-year-old man was disarmed thanks to the keen eye of an off-duty Sacramento detective.
What she was witnessing was the detective holding the gun as he called in backup.
The Sacramento Police Department said the detective, who was acting as a parent observer at the time, noticed a suspicious man who was trying to enter the church during the 9:30 a.m. service on Ash Wednesday. During their conversation, he located a loaded handgun on him, detained him and called in backup.
The church has safety measures in place, such as parent observers positioned inside and outside during services with the doors locked.
St. Mary's school sent an email to parents thanking the detective for his vigilance and for keeping the church community safe as they reflect, pray and fast as they enter Lent.
Police said the 20-year-old had no license to carry that gun, and he could be facing charges for bringing a loaded handgun onto school grounds. Additional charges may be possible.
The department is still investigating what relationship, if any, the man may have had to the church and school, and why he showed up in the first place.
