From Houston- (video)
A pastor in northeast Houston says he's tired of the violence around his church, and he's not waiting around for a miracle to make the area safer.
It came as a startling interruption to an afternoon meeting that Rev. James Hamilton was having inside his church.
"All of a sudden there were a bunch of shots that rang out," he said.
He looked outside, and the parking lot at St. Timothy's Episcopal was full of dozens of cars and as quickly as they came he says they left.
"They run back, they jump in the cars, they squeal out, and they go both directions," Hamilton said.
Hamilton says this is at least the fourth time in a couple months he's felt like he's in the Wild West.
"This is sort of tombstone and OK Corral is across the street," Hamilton said.
He believes the culprits are dueling gangs settling grievances and they've chosen both the church's parking lot and Greenwood Park across the street to do so.
