From Greenville SC-
Sunday's church service included cannon fire, as part of an Independence Day tribute at a downtown Greenville church.
A cannon was fired multiple times, starting around 10 a.m. at Christ Church Episcopal on North Church Street.
"We notified the businesses and residences that it would be happening so that wouldn't startle anybody," Father Harrison McLeod told WYFF.
While the church did not want to scare anyone, McLeod said the cannon fire was aimed at reminding people what it took to be able to celebrate the Fourth of July.
"We remember our independence as a country and the price that we've had to pay for freedom," McLeod said. "We wanted to honor the veterans -- those who have served previously and those who are serving now."
