    Seat fight at Pennsylvania church has a deadly end

    The sanctuary of the Keystone Fellowship Church used to be a safe place for church members to worship and fellowship with others. That changed abruptly Sunday when a member opened fire during service.

    An argument began after Mark Storms, 46, told Robert Braxton III, 27, he was sitting in seats reserved for two other church members, according to a statement made by District Attorney Kevin Steele, The New York Daily News reported.

    After a church member tapped Braxton on the shoulder to let him know he was in someone else’s seat, Braxton yelled “don’t (expletive) touch me” an affidavit obtained by NBC Philadelphia said.

    Witnesses told reporters that Braxton started making a scene over the seat, but soon calmed down after talking to a church usher and a pastor.

    But the situation took a violent turn when Storms approached Braxton, carrying a gun, telling the 27-year-old to get out of the sanctuary.

    “When he came over, he had a gun out, escalating the situation,” Steele said at a press conference on Thursday. “Braxton then took a swing at the defendant, punching him in the jaw.”

    Braxton then tells Storms “(Expletive) you and your fake badge, get the (expletive) out of here,” according to a witness. “That’s not a real gun,” another witness said she remembered hearing in the their exchange.

    Braxton then proceeds to ask, “What are you going to do, shoot me?” according reports...

    Ok I know this will upset the pro-CCW folk here, but here's ANOTHER guy (with a supposed "badge", with supposed "authority") misusing the right to own a weapon. The fool gets up from another part of the sanctuary, playing big bad cop, who interjected himself into a situation that had been defused already. Why???

    If someone says something to you about where you're sitting don't get wildly upset and start dropping F-bombs on them in church?

    I get the feeling this was not a sudden negative interaction between them...and I also get the feeling their animosity was not due to 'seats'..that was just an excuse.
