(Andrew Nelles/The Tennessean via AP) Police in Nashville, Tenn., say a gunman has been captured after opening fire at a church, killing one and wounding seven. Nashville fire department spokesman Joseph Pleasant says the wounded were transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville. The gunman was among the wounded, but his condition is unknown. Metropolitan Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said at a news conference that the gunman arrived in the parking lot as services were being let out Sunday at the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch, about 19 kilometres from Nashville. The suspect fatally shot a woman who was walking to her vehicle. The gunman then entered the rear of the church and six people were shot. A churchgoer who confronted the gunman was pistol-whipped by the suspect, who then shot himself. Aaron said the suspect, who was in his mid 20s and was from Rutherford County, was taken to a hospital. Barry said in a statement Sunday her "heart aches for the family and friends of the deceased as well as for the wounded victims and their loved ones. Their lives have been forever changed, as has the life of their faith community at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ."
